Hi, I read about Nix and NixOS via Reddit and decided it is cool & relevant. So here's my two cents after 1-2 hours of playing around.
I've installed nixos-0.1pre12862-i686-linux. * When first installing I thought it hung (and was getting ready to ditch it). Reason: after showing the login prompt there's another few screens of "garbage" (i.e. boot feedback). Pressing enter a couple of times brings back the prompt. * Generating the configuration.nix automatically with the nixos-... (don't remember the name here) tool is nice, but a few placeholders for the mandatory grub and filesystem root options would be very welcome. I now had to copy them from the basic configuration example. * Documentation in general is too complicated. I need bullets. Once I understand stuff enough I might even submit something. * I read on the mailing list that svn head is the real stable. It would be nice to have that documented in a more obvious place. Also: what actions do I need to take to get my freshly installed system into a 'svn-but-really-stable' kind of state? Hope this is useful. regards, Klaas -- Portfolio: http://www.xaba.nl/content/portfolio CV: http://www.linkedin.com/in/klaasvanschelven Telefoon: 06 811 599 10
