NixOS attracts me, but I wonder how much work I would have to do to get the software installed that I normally use. I am a developer, and I'm prepared to invest a certain amount of time (of the order of, say weeks, rather than hours or months) to get things working, but I'd like to know if it's a realistic prospect.
So I have two machines I'd like to convert: 1) An Apple MacBook Air (second revision - i.e 2008). Currently running Fedora 14 (I can't get 16, 17 or 18 to boot). The software I'd like to run on it would be: GNOME 3 Darktable XBoard + HaChu Google Chrome A PDF reader (preferably Adobe) so it's quite a short list, but judging from the home page, there will be a lot to do. 2) My desktop - a Xeon quad-processor machine currently running Fedora 18. The software I'd like to run on it: Citrix Java client (I need this for work, so this is a must). Emacs GNOME 3 Darktable GIMP Google Chrome GoPanda2 XBoard a PDF reader VLC media player ffmpeg maybe Eiffel Studio maybe Haskell
