> [..] *user installed* [..] See "_The collection way_" if you want to learn about "user collections" So reread the article if you have more time, cause it already should contain everything you want to know.
In the system way it doesn't make sense to think about collections, because you install by path (correspondents nix-env -iA) and not by name anyway. It does make sense to have multiple collections because rebuilding everything at once may take a long time - and also some packages may be broken. Eg for my case I have a haxe-collection which installs - haxe - neko at the same time. I also have a "personal" collection which installs all the stuff I regularly use (editors, browsers etc) and so on. I update the haxe-collection more often the the personal one (for upstream reasons). but yes, this all will make more sense to you if you familiarize yourself even more with Nix.
