Here’s a way to add “Send To” functionality to copy multiples files to removable drive (usually USB drive) in GNOME desktop.
Finally you can test it by selecting a file on your desktop and clicking the Send To option, you’ll be presented with a dialog similar to this.
Now you can easily copy files between your GNOME Desktop to your portable USB drive.
As promised, I’ve upload materials from the previous workshop that I’ve to conduct :
Hope it would be useful to you!

Thanks to those involved in organizing the Linux Workshop in my workplace. The event was a success as things went on smoothly even though there have been few hiccups along the way.
I use Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) to introduce Linux to the audience, and they were surprised to discover that it is easy to install GNU/Linux operating system on their laptop (thanks to Wubi), let alone using it.
As for the training manual, I use a subset of GNU FDL LPI 101 study guide manual which I found useful during the course of the workshop.
All in all, this event has renewed my faith in FOSS adoption in Malaysia as I saw people happily using GNU/Linux and free software during and after the workshop, without breaking a sweat.
Here’s a quick and dirty tips on how to find cause of heavy CPU resources usage on your Apache webserver (especially when running php scripts).
First you need to locate the Apache 2 “access.log” file. By default in Ubuntu, this file is located in “/var/logs/apache2” directory.
Then you need to run this command to find out which IP address accesses your website the most in a short time.
[code]
tail -10000 access.log| awk ‘{print $1}’ | sort | uniq -c |sort -n
[/code]
The output of the command should contain a list of IP addresses along with the number of hits it made in the last 10,000 access of your website
[code]
47 117.58.252.98
81 202.124.242.186
84 202.124.245.26
182 194.164.101.217
220 208.101.22.146
225 72.167.131.144
3946 93.135.xxx.xxx
[/code]
From here you can easily locate the offending ip address and proceed to block it from accessing your website further using .htaccess file or other blocking method.
Here is an example to block certain ip address from accessing your website using .htaccess file
[code]
deny from 93.135.xxx.xxx
Save .htaccess file in the root directory of your web server (example /var/www), and the ip address wont be available to access your site again.
Hope that would help you!
