once you have 7zip installed, you can extract an archive like this:

Thats the file format for 7zip archives. You can grab the 7zip software from here.

EDIT: If you're new to 7zip/Linux, some useful advice can be found on this page.

File Roller in GNOME does just fine. It is compatible with p7zip, and will allow you to create 7zip archives just right.

PeaZip is an awesome (GUI) tool for opening most archives.
