Yup, hated when that happened to me.  They're both pretty straight forward to replace, just make sure you adjust your clutch pedal correctly.  Oh, while your down there you might as well remove the clutch dampener.  It's that little box right before the slave cylinder.  Just take the line going into the dampener and move it into the slave cylinder.  This will give you a little more vibration in your clutch pedal, but it makes the clutch feel more direct and solid.  I've also read that some people had trouble bleeding their clutch until they removed the dampener.  Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yes, adjust your clutch correctly! There should be some free play in the pedal, wher eyou can push it, nothing happens, push some more, then the clutch moves.
My mechanic did not do this for me and it slowly killed by clutch in the next 4 days. It sucked so bad, I lost alot of money out of it  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>
