how to unzip .zip file in ubuntu 10.10?

Hi umangcoolmiles11. Unzipping a file in Ubuntu 10.10 is easy with its default archive manager.
Right-click on the file and select Open With Archive Manager. It will open a window from where you can extract the file/s.

You can check if your system is 32-bit or 64-bit by opening a Terminal and typing this command 'uname -o'. If the result is 'i686' then you have a 32-bit machine.

By the way, you can also extract the files where the zip file is stored by right-clicking it and selecting 'Extract Here'.

Ya but when i try 'uname -o' , it shows 'GNU/LINUX' .... is this mean its a 64-bit machine?

Ooopppsss... sorry. That should be 'uname -m'

-o is for operating system
-m is for machine

thank you buddy, can you tell me wats the difference b/w 32-bit and 64-bit machine? and which better in both?

Definitely 64-bit. This computer architecture provides higher performance than 32-bit by handling twice as many bits of information in the same clock cycle. The 64-bit processor is backwards compatible with older applications and operating systems; it detects whether an application or operating system is 16-bit, 32-bit, or 64-bit and computes accordingly. This is essential for enterprise situations where purchasing new software is not feasible.
