I recommend Midnight Commander (mc), which has a function in it which
undeletes files for the ext2 filesystem.
There is also a howto called the Ext2 Undeletion HOWTO, as well as a Ext2
Undeletion Dir Struct HOWTO. These give you the methods step by step, though
they are a bit dated. In theory they will work with ext3 (if you unmount it
cleanly).
If you are just looking for a setup that lets you undelete a file (e.g. you
haven't deleted it yet but think you will) you can use libtrash. This is a
preloaded library which uses hacks to hide files instead of deleting them
(it does the override at the library call level, so only staticly linked
binaries can delete files). This is as good as you can get w/o patching the
kernel.
