Hi Eelco,
Please do! I have two machines here and I'm going to set one up as a
build environment and the other as a playground I can use for NixOs.
Both will run trunk.
So I'm trying to get the two setup right and this merge occurring
would have a desired impact and I will need to rethink my deployment
strategy (They are both slightly troublesome machines in some respects
with stuff I need to work around.)

Your message does really answer a question I was going to ask: What is
modular NixOs?
Now I know. :)

Kde 4 default good.


Thanks,
Tony
