some times i work on small projects with friends and we use Subversion to track and store code changes, collaborate, and share project files so once we finish we usually upload it somewhere by copying the whole project folder so i face that subversion makes folder inside each folder in the project called “.svn” and that take time to remove manually and unnecessary size to upload
so i run a command inside the project folder to remove that folders recursively before upload.

Run this:

find . -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;

Mount ISO File

First you need to make the directory to put the ISO file into using the following command

sudo mkdir /media/isodir

Then use following command

sudo mount your_image_file.iso /media/isodir/ -t iso9660 -o loop

Now you should have your iso file mounted, and accessible from your desktop.

Unmount ISO File

Just use following command

sudo umount /media/isodir

Net Applications, a Web site analytics company, just published their April 2009 Web users survey, Market Share, and they found that “Linux usage share on client devices has surpassed 1% for the first time and we still have 99% to go and i think it can make it , thanks to some powerful distributions like Ubuntu,Fedora and OpenSUSE.
