Unzipping .zip files in linux
 
Do i need to use wine with winzip to unzip .zip files? or can i somehow use gunzip or bunzip2 to do the job?

Try unzip to unzip zip files.. ;)

Or tar handles them too I think..

man tar
man unzip

Most file browsers can peer right into the zipped files... as long as the decompression libraries are installed.

Goodness, how did people cope before winzip came along... :)

You should have unzip installed, it's a pretty standard part of a distro.
