Is there anything like HashTab for Linux?

I've recently installed Linux, and I know that you can use "md5sum filename" in terminal, but on Windows there is an AMAZING software called HashTab that incorporates it into the shell.

"As a former Windows XP user I got used to the Hashtab-tool in the Windows Explorer properties window. In search of an Ubuntu GNU Linux equivalent of this handy Hastab-tool I recently stumbled across a great hastab tool called ""GtkHash"" for Ubuntu GNU Linux (just search for ""GtkHash"" in the ""Ubuntu Software Center"").

Installation of ""GtkHash"" in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat takes only a few seconds and afterwards the tool can be found under:

Applications

Accessories

GtkHash

GtkHash supports hash functions like:

MD5
SHA1
SHA256
SHA512
RIPEMD
HAVAL
TIGER
WHIRLPOOL
and others.

I personally find ""GtkHash"" to be the best substitute for the hashtab-tool experience I had back in my Windows XP days for Ubuntu GNU Linux.

Greetings to all linux users worldwide! :)"

"I've always liked the handy, script-able md5sum command.
However, there appears to be a Java version called JSummer at Sourceforge.
Maybe, it will work for you."
