    No Unrar Available for Debian 6?

    I am new to the linux forum .......Unrar doesn't install using apt-get install unrar
    My friend a longtime user of linux told me that it's a non-free software and is no longer supported by debian. I was wondering if this is true .....and would there be other options or instructions on where and how to install this package?

    Thank you Poppa Ace
