</div>Would it not also make sense _not_ to link to tinyurl type services?<br>
These are under even less control than the Ubuntu Wiki.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it's time that we had a tinyurl type system at (for example)<br>
"<a href="http://go.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">go.ubuntu.com</a>" to cater for this kind of thing. An Ubuntu run site<br>
such as this could havea redirect to (for example) kvm documentation<br>
at <a href="http://go.ubuntu.com/kvm" target="_blank">go.ubuntu.com/kvm</a> . Using such a such would mean that in the event<br>
the target documentation changes or becomes unvailable, the<br>
maintainers of "<a href="http://go.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">go.ubuntu.com</a>" could just change the /kvm redirect to<br>
something else, and not have to update the server-tips package at all.<br>
<br>
