I did the same software setup.  Though there was a turnkey light debian 
version that boasted a fast boot
talked about in the instructions, I wanted the whole Jessie distribution 
so that things weren't
missing that I have come to expect...  to avoid those "you can't get 
there from here" scenarios.

Don't neglect the PiDP8 forum, some good experience information is 
posted there.
Noteworthy is a mod to make the lights more realistic which I want to 
try soon.
