You can now meet your tech reference book needs on the iPhone! O’Reilly media has published over a hundred of their books on the iPhone in cooperation with Lexcycle. And they’re way cheaper than their paper counterparts!! Check the App store for the cookbooks and pocket references we love.
Is this a sign of things to come? Hopefully well be seeing more reference and textbooks soon on the app store.

After an intense night of coding, I have finished the first release of my dice game, Nice Dice. Check it out!

This has been working very well for me with Arch Linux on my netbook. Check that your flavor uses Grub before proceeding. This example tutorial uses a system with the following partition scheme:
Linux System Backup
Before backing up, it’s a good idea to put any relevant dotfiles into /etc/skel
also check that the system does not use uuid’s for rc.conf or menu.lst. If it does, you’ll have to correct those files manually (I leave it to you.)
now when you do this last step, remember that the mbr backup also backed up the partition table.
Restore a system
NOTE.1: i have duplicated effort by both restoring the mbr and then writing it with grub-install. this is not a mistake.
NOTE.2: how to format
ext2: mke2fs /dev/sdXX
ext3: mke2fs -j /dev/sdXX
swap: mkswap /dev/sdXX
fat16: mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sdXX
fat32: mkdosfs -F 32 /dev/sdXX
