sudo shutdown -h +30

That will shut it down for halt (power off and everything) in 30 min. You can have any number of minutes after the +

Thanks man that's awesome!

Tip: To speed up web surfing on a dialup or otherwise slow connection, download Opera and enable the Turbo feature. Some images will look pixelated, but it works very well.

Ubuntu users: to get some really cool animations, and additional features to the interface, type in the console: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
You should find now in the Preferences menu, settings for Compiz. You can set up many animations, useful keyboard shortcuts, the DesktopCube and many other cool stuff.

Thanks, man, but it has already been posted.
But using apt at the command line to get it can be handy.
