Here is a small tutorial on how to install RAR on a Linux server.

Please enter the following commands:-

Download a binary package from the official site:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz
Untar the file:
Code:
tar -zxvf rarlinux-3.8.0.tar.gz
Both rar and unrar commands are located in a rar sub-directory. Go to the rar directory:
Code:
cd rar
./unrar
Copy rar and unrar to the bin directory:
Code:
cp rar unrar /bin
Congratulations, you should now have RAR installed on your Linux server :)

dude tutorial is good, but the rar is a commercial one and u just installed a trail version. In our desktop we can use cracks. which crack we use in a linux server.
 
I doubt there are many open source apps to create rars as it's a copyrighted mechanism.

Maybe to UNRAR, yes, but to RAR maybe not.
The linux port of 7zip could do it but I don't know.
 
I don't understand why people think that CPU influences raring any especially. When you use no compression, it's more-less only the hdd what matters ;)

No compression, 2 x shitty 7200 RPM disks in raid 0, 700 MB rared in 5s ;)
 
add -m0 to parameters you run it with

But it doesn't mean it'll rar 700 MB in 5s on YOUR computer :D Get SSD disks and then you'll see some raring ;)
