[CoLoCo] Free ubuntu books

[Neal McBurnett]

As you suggest, one fine option is to parcel out the two free books at
the release party.

But with another hat on, I'll throw out another charitable option.
I'm sitting here at KGNU (88.5 FM, 1490 AM), the cool non-profit
community radio station where I'm a volunteer, which has a growing
list of ubuntu servers that I've helped set up.

I'd love to put the server book on the rack here for the folks that do
administration on the machines here :)

It probably wouldn't get a ton of use, but in a crisis it would be
great.
