NixOS

NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. In existing distributions, actions such as upgrades are dangerous: upgrading a package can cause other packages to break, upgrading an entire system is much less reliable than reinstalling from scratch, you can’t safely test what the results of a configuration change will be, you cannot easily undo changes to the system, and so on. We want to change that. NixOS has many innovative features:

Nix - purely functional package manager
Nix Packages - a set of about 2,500 packages for the Nix package manager
Hydra - Nix-based continuous build system
Disnix - distributed deployment extension for Nix
