What is the easiest way (using a graphical tool or command line on Ubuntu Linux) to know if two binary files are the same or not (except for the time stamps)? I do not need to actually extract the difference. I just need to know whether they are the same or not.

    The standard unix diff will show if the files are the same or not:

    [me@host ~]$ diff 1.bin 2.bin
    Binary files 1.bin and 2.bin differ
    

    If there is no output from the command, it means that the files have no differences.
