This doesn't really mean anything because any old junk will have an md5sum. k3b does have a verify burned cd button that compares the CD to the ISO, but again this doesn't mean anything since you could have just burned a good copy of junk data. A file is distributed with the ISOs called SHA1SUM that contains checksums of the ISOs. You can check all the files at once with : sha1sum --check SHA1SUM However the checksums in SHA1SUM could be garbage or forged so that file is gpg signed. You can check it with : gpg --verify SHA1SUM
