Basically, I have been looking for an archiver/extracter/whatever you call it that is as good as winrar. Multiple part support, password support, GUI interface, easy to navigate, and basically everything that makes Winrar so awesome. I know Winrar makes a command line tool for Linux, bug I am looking for a GUI thing. When I tried to install Winrar on PlayOnLinux, that didn't work either, I got an error when installing. So does anyone have an archiving tool for Linux that does everything Winrar does? (Note, the built in one does not have password support)

If you have PlayOnLinux and Wine, I would suggest you to use the excellent Bandizip archive manager : http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/ It is a free (but not open source software) but it is the only solution I've found to open "rar" files on my Ubuntu.

Well, I have not found a program that runs natively on linux, but luckily I was able to get 7-zip installed via PlayOnLinux, and I now have a good archive manager! Not very fast, could have something to with wine/playonlinux, but the convenience is worth it.

I would suggest checking out free 7-zip. It has got a GUI and as far as I know it supports all the features you ask for including *.rar files.
You can install it from command line using sudo apt-get install p7zip-full as per this answer.
