$ apropos checksum
cksum (1)            - checksum and count the bytes in a file
sum (1)              - checksum and count the blocks in a file
$ apropos md5
md5sum (1)           - generates or checks MD5 message digests
debsums (1)          - Check the md5sums of a package

(those are just a few of the md5 ones... :)

md5 is much nicer than the sum or cksum programs..
