Sometimes things have worked out, sometimes they haven't.  Usually,

Since I'll probably go through this processes occasionally in the
future, I'd be willing to add my findings to the wiki or the
documentation, if this would be of interest?

I think this would be great!

The only question is how much to wiki and how much to update the official DocBook documentation.

# Now this is the problem:
$ sudo nix-channel --add http://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable

That created the file $HOME/.nix-channels in my USER home, but with
owner root.  Obviously not the correct behavior.  The following `sudo
nix-channel --update` failed (sorry, don't have the error message
anymore).  Any suggestions for a better way to do this?

sudo -H (see man sudo)

I believe nix-channel --add is supposed to be run *without* sudo anyway (it only sets up ~/.nix* stuff AFAIK).
