On the Ubuntu download page it gives the following instructions for verifying the hash, other than using the commandline:
"You can also find the MD5 hash using OS X's built in Disk Utility program. You can find it in the Utilities folder in Applications, or by choosing "Utilities" from the Finder's "Go" menu. Open Disk Utility and wait for it to gather information about your disks. Go to the directory where you downloaded the Ubuntu disk image, and drag it to Disk Utility's dock icon. For this example we'll be checking the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop install CD. The disk image should show up on the left-hand side of Disk Utility, underneath your physical drives. Go to the "Images" menu and select Checksum > MD5. Be sure to choose "MD5" and NOT "MD5 image checksum", as they are not the same and will give you different results. Disk Utility will return, in this case, "Checksum of "ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso" completed. MD5 24ea1163ea6c9f5dae77de8c49ee7c03" In Leopard, Disk Utility v11.1 (252.4) there is no such option???
