.rar is the extension used by Winrar to compress files and they are like Zip files but in a different format. Many other programs can decompress it and you should download the free 7-Zip which is amongst the best from here http://www.7-zip.org/download.html, choose your flavor of operating system in your case Fedora, install and use that to unrar your file
