When asked which program to open it with, type in ark. It probably came preinstalled, and can open many kinds of archive files (zip included).

 

[Scooped]

Or open up your shell and type

unzip path_of_file

 

[Spatcher]

If you have a .tar.gz ending of the file, type tar xvfz filename. If this is Fedora or RedHat or the likes, then you install it with something like yum. sudo (or su, enter, *type in root password*) yum install filename

you can't have permission to enter /root even as a superuser, root is a separate user, su is a normal user with root privileges. try entering as root, you won't have much trouble with anything then.

 

[Resolution]

Also, you shouldn't be running Linux as root in the first place. Get out of that bad Windows habit. :4-thatsba
