Ubuntu installation guide page installs outdated Varnish cache

[Amedeo Salvati]

hi Aaron,

generally i prefer to don't build from source application on
production env, related for security issue to have c compiler
installed on the same host, but for varnish i think this doesn't
matter because varnish require gcc or c compiler to compile vcl script
at run time; for this issue i have configured varnish on chroot jail,
and so i wrote (yesterday 02-01-2011) another howto:

http://lab.oscert.net/varnish/varnish-in-chroot-jail

google translator:

another solution that you can walk is to build varnish on dev host,
pack a chroot env with a script, it's a very simple script but for me
work: https://github.com/amedeos/UVarnishChroot (if you find bug or
enhancement please let me know) and finally deploy to production host.
