+Nix, the purely functional package manager
+------------------------------------------
+
+Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its
+purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't
+appear with Nix.
+
+To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please
+read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at
+<http://nixos.org/nix/manual>.
