Uncompressing files in Linux via the command line is easy. You just use unzip, tar, unrar, etc. However I prefer to be able to directly uncompress my files in the current directory in Konqueror, as in Mac OS X or Windows. This article will teach you how.
KDE Integration: Installing Ark with Konqueror Integration
You first need to install Ark, which is part of the KDE system, and is a GUI for compression utilities. On Gentoo just do a
# emerge -a ark
Then, if you want KDE integration, I suggest you install konq-plugins which is part of the kdeaddons package:
# emerge -a konq-plugins
Now you can right-click on any archive file in Konqueror and you can call Ark to expand it.
