There is also something called p7zip that can read rar files.  p7zip
also implements 7z compression, which is better then most other formats,
from what I've seen, There is a Windows 7-Zip program, as well, and
p7zip claims to build on Linux, *BSD, Solaris, OS X, and Be.

You can find p7zip at http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/
