can someone explain the what the load averages numbers mean for the

i.e. 1:42pm up 4:31, 1 user, load average: 1.28, 1.09, 1.06
I know what the three are, but what does 1.28 mean? 1.28% of 100%
load, 128% of max? What DOES the 1.28 reflect?

Summarizing the responses, the gist was that MD5 is more secure, may

Can someone tell me what the advantage and disadvantages of using MD5

Is it just stronger encryption?
