Could someone teach me how to check signature/hash. Someone said a couple of days ago that he can't do it with 0.5.10 so I though it's better to know how to do it before next update.

Look up Jean-Luc's pgp key via his id "FF2A19FA".  Go to http://keyserver.pgp.com and search for his key.  Download it.

Import his key into gpg 'gpg --import Path_to_Jean_Luc's_Key'

Save his message in a file.  'nano message' to open a new file and save the message.

Verify the signature via gpg 'gpg --verify message'
Make sure it says the signature is "GOOD".

You can check the sha256 of the download by using 'sha256sum Path_to_Nxt_Client'
Make sure the sha256 hash of the Nxt client you downloaded matches the sha256 hash included in Jean Luc's official message.
