By default "echo" attaches a newline character. If you have GNU "echo" 
(which comes with most/all(?) Linux distributions), then you should
type

 echo -n Penguin | md5sum

If you use Solaris "echo", then you need to type

 /usr/bin/echo 'Penguin\c' | md5sum

If you use yet another version of "echo", you will have to check with
the relevant manual page for your system.
