[ale] Phew!!!

[Kyle Brieden]

On this same token, I'm getting ready to migrate my mail server and a 
couple websites from one DO droplet to a shiny new DO droplet.  They 
just dropped new VM flavors that are 2x the RAM for the same cost.  My 
$5/month half gig VM will be migrated to a $5/month 1GB RAM VM.  I was 
really just waiting for Ubuntu 18.04 to hit actual release.

Very respectfully,
