This is awesome. pizza_party is a 24 KB Perl script written for people who spend so much time at the command-line that they don't have
time to pick up the phone and call Dominos, or even to go thru the many-step process of using Dominos
web interface. Obviously it's released under the GPL. The website reports that it's been ported to Python.

Now there no more excuses. You can official install debian GNU/Linux from Windows. Slashdot reports:

After a long process of review and polishing, the win32 loader from goodbye-microsoft.com has finally made its way to official Debian CDs. Latest daily builds of lenny (the development version) are including it, making starting Debian Installer as simple as just a few clicks (OGG). The win32-loader version, now based on GRUB 2, includes new features such as detection and pre-seeding of Windows settings, and is translated to 20 languages."

Why should you spend money for an alarm clock or a software that does an equivalent job, when you can just use you Linux box? Well, most likely you use cellphone... but if you have the computer switched on all day long you can also try and do it yourself. You may already have all the software that you need to make it work, it's done by you, it's highly customisable, and above all it's more fun. This short tutorial will guide you step by step in creating an MP3/ogg alarm clock using your computer, it works with all Linux systems, and can easily be modified for MAC OS X, *BSD, well you got it.

Hi, this short tutorial aims to be a guide for those who would like to back up a DVD using Linux. If you like nice and clear GUIs I suggest you to use the excellent Handbrake, but if you are interested in understanding what really happens when ripping a DVD and have complete control over the operation you will find this guide quite useful.

At first I will start with a general overview to clarify the situation about DVDs, then I'll switch to a description of the script I made, along with its usage. Remember that this does not pretend to be an exhaustive study about DVD encoding, it is a simple introduction to this beautiful World, for further information I suggest you to follow these links:
