-* Conda Python 3.4.x
 * No preinstalled scientific computing packages
-* Unprivileged user `jovyan` (uid=1000, configurable, see options) in group `users` (gid=100) with ownership over `/home/jovyan` and `/opt/conda`

 You may customize the execution of the Docker container and the Notebook server it contains with the following optional arguments.
 
 * `-e INTERFACE=10.10.10.10` - Configures Kernel Gateway to listen on the given interface. Defaults to '0.0.0.0', all interfaces, which is appropriate when running using default bridged Docker networking. When using Docker's `--net=host`, you may wish to use this option to specify a particular network interface.
-* `-e PORT=8888` - Configures Kernel Gateway to listen on the given port. Defaults to 8888, which is the port exposed within the Dockerfile for the image. When using Docker's `--net=host`, you may wish to use this option to specify a particular port.

-## Conda Environment
-
-The default Python 3.x [Conda environment](http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html) resides in `/opt/conda`. The commands `ipython`, `python`, `pip`, `easy_install`, and `conda` (among others) are available in this environment.
