NixOS 14.04 發布，改進系統配置管理的現狀
NixOS是獨立開發的GNU/Linux發行，它旨在改進系統配置管理的現狀。在NixOS中，整個操作系統，包括內核、應用程序、系統軟件包、配置文
件，統統都由Nix包管理器來創建。Nix將所有軟件包以彼此分離的方式進行存儲，因此就不存在/bin、/sbin、/lib、/usr之類的目錄；相
反，所有軟件包都保存在/nix/store中。NixOS的其他創新特色包括可靠升級、回滾、可重現的系統配置、二進制代碼基于源文件的管理模型、多用
戶包管理。盡管NixOS是一份研究性項目，它是一份功能性的及可用的操作系統，能進行硬件檢測，使用KDE作為缺省桌面，并采用systemd進行系統
服務管理。
