NixOS 14.04 发布，改进系统配置管理的现状

NixOS是独立开发的GNU/Linux发行，它旨在改进系统配置管理的现状。在NixOS中，整个操作系统，包括内核、应用程序、系统软件包、配置文 件，统统都由Nix包管理器来创建。Nix将所有软件包以彼此分离的方式进行存储，因此就不存在/bin、/sbin、/lib、/usr之类的目录；相 反，所有软件包都保存在/nix/store中。NixOS的其他创新特色包括可靠升级、回滚、可重现的系统配置、二进制代码基于源文件的管理模型、多用 户包管理。尽管NixOS是一份研究性项目，它是一份功能性的及可用的操作系统，能进行硬件检测，使用KDE作为缺省桌面，并采用systemd进行系统 服务管理。
