Description of problem:
please add a tool to extract .rar archives to the next redhat version.
rar is a shareware utility to compress multiple files, similar to zip. there is
a version for linux/i386, however is shareware. please add a free tool to
extract-only capabilities (you can find a gpl library to do that here:
http://www.unrarlib.org)
since in the next redhat you're paying more attention to the desktop user (good
move!) please add such a similar tool.
thanks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This sounds like a candidate for Fedora Extras:
