-# Nix
-
-These sections are designed to give some background information on what Nix is.
-If you've never heard of Nix before looking at Nixery, this might just be the
-page for you!
-
-[Nix][] is a functional package-manager that comes with a number of advantages
-over traditional package managers, such as side-by-side installs of different
-package versions, atomic updates, easy customisability, simple binary caching
-and much more. Feel free to explore the [Nix website][Nix] for an overview of
-Nix itself.
-
-Nix uses a custom programming language also called Nix, which is explained here
-[on its own page][nix-1p].
-
-In addition to the package manager and language, the Nix project also maintains
-[NixOS][] - a Linux distribution built entirely on Nix. On NixOS, users can
-declaratively describe the *entire* configuration of their system and perform
-updates/rollbacks to other system configurations with ease.
-
-Most Nix packages are tracked in the [Nix package set][nixpkgs], usually simply
-referred to as `nixpkgs`. It contains tens of thousands of packages already!
-
-Nixery (which you are looking at!) provides an easy & simple way to get started
-with Nix, in fact you don't even need to know that you're using Nix to make use
-of Nixery.
