title: Can MD5 values change depending on OS?
body: <p>Currently i am trying to install linux </p>
  
  <p>I was just checking md5 checksum to see if the file is downloaded correctly or not.</p>
  
  <p>situation is like this.
  I have downloaded linux   .iso file in win xp have checked the md5 from Microsoft 'File checksum integrity verifier' utility. it is giving a different checksum from the one displayed on the linux OS website.</p>
  
  <p>Q. IS the md5 checksum different (or same)  on different OS ( winxp, win7, linux etc) ??</p>
