NixOS Information

NixOS provides a complete X11/KDE 4 desktop environment. Other window managers and part of Gnome are also available. NixOS uses systemd to manage system services. It supports quite a few services (e.g., Apache HTTPD, PostgreSQL, and Tomcat) that can be configured declaratively through configuration.nix NixOS build on the Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs), which provides Nix expressions for nearly 6500 packages that you can install under NixOS. NixOS has automatic hardware detection: the boot process loads kernel modules for all known devices automatically. It also has CUPS for printing, support for various wireless cards, and so on. NixOS currently runs on 32-bit and 64-bit x86 machines ( i686-linux and x86_64-linux ), and experimentally on ARM. There are some screenshots of NixOS in action .
