-Debian Jessie installation Notes:
-
-- Add
-
-  ```ini
-  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1"
-  ```
-
-  to `/etc/default/grub`. Then update with
-
-  ```ShellSession
-  sudo update-grub
-  sudo update-grub2
-  sudo reboot
-  ```
-
-- Add the [backports](https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/) which contain Systemd 2.30 and update Systemd.
-
-  ```ShellSession
-  apt-get -t jessie-backports install systemd
-  ```
-
-  (Necessary because the default Systemd version (2.15) does not support the "Delegate" directive in service files)
-
-- Add the Ansible repository and install Ansible to get a proper version
-
-  ```ShellSession
-  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
-  sudo apt-get update
-  sudo apt-get install ansible
-  ```
-
-- Install Jinja2 and Python-Netaddr
-
-  ```ShellSession
-  sudo apt-get install python-jinja2=2.8-1~bpo8+1 python-netaddr
-  ```
