The Ubuntu Server Guide wants YOU!

Hi Tom,
I think it is a matter of choice. When I first read these strings in the 
server guide I changed them to numerical, but then I thought both are 
correct, so I left them unchanged.
But perhaps it would be a good idea to mention in the style guide, 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/InternationalAudience, 
what is preferred: numbers in numerical or spelled out.
Regards,
Hannie
