 * You have two applications for extracting and creating archives: Squeeze and Xarchiver.

Archives with Thunar

 * 1. I use File Roller but it's a question of choice:

apt-get install file-roller
 * a. If you want to extract and create archive from mouse menu just install Thunar file manager plugin:

apt-get install thunar-archive-plugin
 * b. And you can install a few packages for supporting additional formats:

apt-get install unrar rar p7zip-full
 * The "rar" package allows to make "rar" archive but it is a shareware version, needs registration after 40 days.

Archives in Terminal

 * If you have to extract archive files in text console, use commands as below:
 * a. "tar.bz2" package:

tar xfvj package_name.tar.bz2
 * b. "tar.gz" package

tar xfvz package_name.tar.gz
 * c. "zip" package:

unzip package_name.zip
 * d. "rar" package:

unrar e package_name.rar
 * e. "7z" (7zip) package:

7z e package_name.7z
