ubuntu-education Digest, Vol 28, Issue 2

[Jeffrey LePage]

Felix,

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but in Ubuntu you generally use Archive Manager (File Roller) to deal with zip files.  You can find instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/File%20Roller#Usage

New users such as yourself should visit the 'Absolute Beginner Talk' forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/.  You'll find other more specific forums there as well.  The Ubuntu-eduation list is for questions relating to Linux/Ubuntu in an educational environment.

You may also wish to join your local Linux Users Group: http://www.pdxlinux.org/

Welcome to the Linux community.
