Hi, you can install unzip (and almost every other application you might need) with: # apt-get install unzip
Under Linux it is more common to use 'tarballs' or bzip2. Tar is standardly installed and you could use it the following way: $ tar -cvzf homedir.tar.gz /home/myself this (c)reates a new file For unpacking: $ tar -xvzf homedir.tar.gz Winzip handles these file's well, so you can also send these to almost every windoze user.
