Thats my point - linux uses SHA256 I believe.

And thats not my biggest problem. As I suspected the linux sites have 
removed the rpm, so I have to either find it on a host somewhere or host 
it myself.  My goal is to somehow prepend MASTERSITES to look to my host 
first, then one of the linux sites, then a backup host? and hopefully 
one will hit if mine is down for whatever reason.

Has anyone had any experience with rpm.pbone.net?
