md5sum in Linux Section?

May 30, 2009 Fath link
On the three Linux operating systems I have used so far the default hash algorithm has been md5sum whereas your website only has SHA256s. Unless there is some particular reason for not having md5sums then please put them up there.

And my thanks to the dev's for creating a Linux client - I really appreciate it! = )

Wait, what distro doesn't ship with sha256sum? I mean, it's part of GNU coreutils...

sha256 is more secure then md5 for one... and yes, sha256sum should come with all major linux distro's.
