<para>This manual describes NixOS, a Linux distribution based on
the purely functional package management system Nix.</para>
<para>NixOS is rather bleeding edge, and this manual is
correspondingly sketchy and quite possibly out of date. It gives
basic information on how to get NixOS up and running, but since
NixOS is very much a work in progress, you are likely to encounter
problems here and there. Extensive familiarity with Linux is
recommended. If you encounter problems, please report them on the
<literal>nix-dev@cs.uu.nl</literal> mailing list or on <link
xlink:href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#trace" />.</para>
