+Nix, the purely functional package manager

+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>.
