Quote:

"A next-generation package manager called Nix provides a simple
distribution-independent method for deploying a binary or source package on
different flavours of Linux, including Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, and Red
Hat. Even better, Nix does not interfere with existing package managers. Unlike
existing package managers, Nix allows different versions of software to live
side by side, and permits sane rollbacks of software upgrades. Nix is a useful
system administration tool for heterogeneous environments and developers who
write software supported on different libraries, compilers, or interpreters."
