from a command line prompt its either the md5 or meta-flac commands. Working from memory, it should be:

md5 *.flac > files.md5
meta-flac --show-md5sum *.flac > files.ffp

they will return different values since one looks at the entire file (tags et al) while the other looks at just the audio stream contained within.

thanks! i now got a md5 file.
next step is that i want to seed my recording on dime. the first time for me doing this with linux. i created a .torrent file with transmission. what is the next step? where do i have to save my recording, the torrent file and where do i have to put the download location? any special things that are different than doing this with windows?

Not really, it's still open the torrent, point it to the appropriate data, verify everything is correct and upload it to the tracker.

As an aside, you might want to check out Deluge as a bittorrent client in Linux.
