This document is intended as a sort of supplementary guide to NixOS. It assumes that you have at least some preexisting knowledge about programming and Linux systems. I will try not to discuss topics in excruciating detail, but I will try to provide some details that I think are necessary to understand and use NixOS.

You can read the sources in the src directory, and you can contact us if you have any suggestions.
