.zip can be uncompressed in Linux at the command line: "unzip filename.zip".  Many distributions include desktop uncompression software too.  For Windows, I recommend the freeware ZipGenius (http://www.zipgenius.it/eng/index.php) (I've used most of the main freeware compression programs out there).

.rm is a proprietary format used by RealMedia.  You need their RealPlayer to deal with these.

.mpeg indicates either compressed audio or compressed video.  You require a program that can handle this.  There are too many possibilities to mention them all.  Google for MPEG player.

.jpg files are image files compressed with a lossy algorithm.  Open them in your favourite image viewer/editor.
