[BALUG-Admin] "done"*: Re: some intermittent disruptions to some (mostly non-production) BALUG services

Done*

*for now, anyway.  The mentioned host has been upgraded to:
Debian GNU/Linux 7.5 (wheezy)
Even got 64-bit kernel installed and host is running on that.
More to do (clean-up/housekeeping, catch up on log entries,
remainder of conversion to 64-bit, also want to convert remaining
reiserfs filesystems to ext4) - but those tasks will be later
and/or non-disruptive.  I'll mention when there are activities
that will cause (even intermittent) outages again ... at least
more than very brief, anyway.
