[TriLUG] Upgrade Debian 7 to 8

[Ken MacKenzie via TriLUG]

Most argue it is safer to take a backup and go with a fresh install.  For a
server especially I agree with that.  Desktop/workstations, I have edited
apt sources and done an upgrade in place plenty of times without much to
deal with.  However either way make sure you try a live CD first to make
sure there is no hardware issue that might be an issue for your specific
computer.
