Public bug reported:

The following fortunes in /usr/share/games/fortunes/ubuntu-server-tips
contain URLs that are no longer valid:

'etckeeper' allows you to save changes you make to /etc in a bazaar
repository.  Useful to track and revert
changes. http://tinyurl.com/etckeeper (The URL registered at tinyurl.com points to https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/etckeeper.html.)

Need a little refresh on networking concept? Take a look at the networking
section of the server guide.
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/networking.html

Keep your servers time in sync, use the ntpd package.
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/NTP.html

Package updates can be automated on your server using the
unattended-upgrades package.
https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html

These could be fixed by pointing to the most recent (or perhaps the
next) LTS release server guide URL.  Even better would be for the
installer script to grab the version of Ubuntu from the installation and
create the URL on the fly.  Maybe I'll submit a patch that does this.
