A google search for "ubuntu server guide" has this as the top hit:
http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
It does not indicate a version, does not link to other versions and I
haven't figured out what version it is, but it is old. Any sleuths
out there?
The second google hit is
https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
which is just a little bit better, getting folks up to version 6.06,
but not beyond.
Shouldn't these two redirect to something closer to
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/
(which needs a 2007 copyright....)
I gather that part of the problem is that the URL changed from
"serverguide" to "server" at some point, and the former is probably
favored by google's heuristics.
Perhaps a google site map would help:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps
Speaking of URLs, why is that "/C" in there? It just seems to get in
the way, lengthen the URL a bit, and lead to unproductive wondering
about whether "/A", "/D" "/C++" or "/BCPL" would would be even better
:-)
