+ intended use
+---------------
+This role is designed to manage linux hosts with the following roles. This role here basically only focuses on deploying some dotfiles, [@DO1JLR](https://github.com/DO1JLR) decided they are needed at all hosts that are ansible managed.
+Other roles distribute ssh public keys, configure sshd, create users and manage sudo permissions or install a number of useful packages.
+
+A list of suggested roles to manage your linux host:
+ - [do1jlr.base](https://github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_base.git) *install some useful packages*
+ - [do1jlr.users](https://github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_users.git) *create user and manage sudoers*
+ - [do1jlr.auth](https://github.com/chaos-bodensee/role-ssh_authorized_keys.git) *deploy ssh pubkeys*
+ - [do1jlr.sshd](https://github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_sshd.git) *configure sshd*
+ - [do1jlr.dotfiles](https://github.com/roles-ansible/ansible_role_dotfiles) *(this one)*
+
+ Good to know:
+---------------
+The listed roles use the same variables to create accounts, admins and so on. But the roles have to run in the correct order to work properly.
+For example you can't deploy a ssh public key for a user that is not created.
