[BALUG-Admin] BALUG ancillary sites UPgraded

[Michael Paoli]

Upgraded (updated) from: Debian GNU/Linux 7.9 (wheezy)
to: Debian GNU/Linux 8.2 (jessie)

If you notice anything awry, let me know.
I did notice the wiki pages do have a rather different look & feel.

> These BALUG sites are UP again.
> Due note, however, that the new location is *not* high availability,
> nor high bandwidth.

> Specifically, at present, the VM hosting those sites has been move onto

> it does, those BALUG sites will be temporarily down again), and it's
> sitting at the end of a DSL line - which also shares bandwidth with
> other hosts.

> I'll likely be doing some things in the coming weeks or more to improve

> currently), and may at some future point also have improved bandwidth -

> Let me know if anyone notices anything particularly amiss (notwihstanding
