I did think of that, and I'm not sure if it is an official place.
Unfortunately, all of the links I was able to find seemed rather unofficial.

Would it be best to either:

1.) Reference the document, but do not provide a link

2.) Remove the reference entirely

Actually, it appears to be one of the author's sites.  There is also a
typo on that page.  s/Simon/Simson.

I have an update patch attached.

Hm,

any idea if that is an "official" place?  Or could we get into troubles
if we link to that page/document?

Because the document is rather hidden on that page.  At least I did not
find a link to it on the website.

Okay.  Just found some information on Wikipedia.  There are 2 references
there that show that the book is indeed available for free:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX-HATERS

So it should be save to link to it.  I think I will just fix the link now.
