I am working with a Raspberry PI running Jessie and I'm not happy about
the solutions I found to change it from DHCP to a fixed IP address.
Editing the file /etc/dhcpcd.conf does not seem to work correctly.
Can I go back to the old method of editing /etc/network/interfaces
Or is there a better way of setting a fixed IP on Jessie?
Raspbian Jessie (not Debian Jessie) uses systemd by default. I found the
following instructions worked well on my R-Pi 3 board:

I too found it really confusing that many of the files we formerly used
to configure networking are still present but have no effect. I do not
know what all is involved in re-configuring to not use this newer method.
