Commercial Support references on the Xubuntu website

[Jim Campbell]

Hi All,

I've changed the link text a little bit so that it's clear that the user is
going to the help and support page, rather than to just the Xubuntu
website.

Information regarding community support can be found at the <ulink
url="&xubuntu-web-help;">Help & Support</ulink> page of the Xubuntu
website.
                            </para>

:)
