New Ubuntu Server Guide Live

[Robin Winslow]

Hi all

Sorry this is quite a delayed update, but the publishing issue for the
server guide was fixed by IS on 29th April, and has been building daily
ever since.

You can always find the latest version of the PDF with the link
https://assets.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server-guide.

The guide now includes text at the very bottom saying e.g. "PDF generated
on 2020-05-07 03:53:16", so you can see how fresh the content is.

Let me know if you find any more issues with this.

Cheers,
Robin
