AlternativeTo

Of course not. More often than not, popular software won't have a Linux version. There's a couple of things you can do about that. You can go to AlternativeTo to find alternatives to software you need that does run on Linux. Most times, alternatives are pretty good or even better than what you were using, experiment!

implbits.com Hashtab

On the download page for the distro, there will be other files such as *.sig, *.sha256, and *.sha512. These are "check files" included for security. The .sig or .asc file is a GNU Privacy Guard cryptographic signature, and you will need GPG4Win to check it. The .sha256, sha512sum, or whatever combination of the names is a MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, or other hash, and you will need HashTab to check it.
