[PLUG] Oops, quickly over my head with Ubuntu package management


I have a command on my Ubuntu system called sha256sum. How do I find what 
package that is in so that I can install it on another server? I need to access 
it via PHP to create checksums. It works just fine on my workstation but does 
not exist on the target system.
I tried to search in Google using this string:
 ubuntu "install sha256sum" -fedora
There were 5 responses and they were were either in Japanese/Chinese or they 
indicated that I could have Google translate it.
At that point, I'm thinking "Luke, you're in deep doo-doo(1)... very very deep."
Extra information:
My system:
	cat /etc/*release
	DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
	DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
	DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid
	DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"
The target system:
	cat /etc/*release
	DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
	DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.06
	DISTRIB_CODENAME=dapper
	DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS"
TIA
Eric
