serverguide: Broken links to the installation guide

Currently we use the variable distro-rev both in links and in text. These links were broken when we appended "LTS" to the end. I suggest splitting into two variables, like "distro-rev-full" and "distro-rev-short", however they would be the same value except during LTS cycles. Any opinions?

I guess we either manually change the links, or change the distro-rev in the libs/global.ent file. My thought is that there are less links then there are strings using distro-rev outside of URLs, so I vote for a manual change. Wouldn't think that it'd take too long.

"so I vote for a manual change. Wouldn't think that it'd take too long."

It does seem to be taking a while, since the 'bugs' haven't been solved... ;-)

I'll pick this one up, it seems since I ported some of Ubuntu serverguide to Kubuntu docs as well, this bug could be applicable there as well :)
