The NixOS Wiki is a community-run project to document the [[Nix]] ecosystem. [[NixOS]] is a Linux distribution which is created with the [[Nix]] package manager as it's foundation. NixOS relies upon the extensive [[Nixpkgs]] package repository, which is one of the largest and most up-to-date package sources in the Linux world. The Nix ecosystem also includes tools like [[Hydra]], for continuous integration testing, and [[NixOps]], for deploying NixOS machines to networks and clouds (e.g. EC2, GCE, and Azure).
