Package management rethought - Nix, BOB 2015
Allow me to introduce you to Nix - The Purely Functional Package Manager. Nix is a powerful package manager for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible. It provides atomic upgrades and rollbacks, side-by-side installation of multiple versions of a package, multi-user package management and easy setup of build environments. We will also look into NixOS - The Purely Functional Linux Distribution. NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable.
