Ok. I didn't know about that. I guess I had planned, once I get past the learning phase (i.e running nixos in virtualbox), to use environment.systemPackages. Are "collection package" (as the wiki says) the best way to handle *user installed* programs, whereas environment.systemPackages is best for *system wide* installed programs? _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
