[sf-lug] updated/upgraded: SF-LUG - operating system presently hosting

[Michael Paoli]

It's been updated/upgraded:
from: Debian GNU/Linux 7.9 (wheezy)
to: Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 (jessie)
http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-admin-balug.org/2015-October/002989.html

Still definitely *not* high availability though (alas, still sits atop
a virtual machine on my *laptop*!).

Hopefully in not too horribly distant future (like *real soon*), the
physical box the site was earlier running upon will be successfully
retrieved - once that happens, some high(er) availability options
become possible.

Let me know if you notice anything awry (notwithstanding the less than
high availability).
