The team copy of the server book[0] was received last year and it was
claimed pretty quickly so we don't have one to offer.

There is a 35% discount available to user groups who are affiliated
with Pearson, Berkeley Unix Users Group (BUUG) is one of them so you
can ask them for the code if you want to purchase it at a discount,
contact details here:
