Hi,

I just came across nixos - and I'm already sold to the idea.

Unfortunately I have some trouble to get startet.  I tried installing
xorg-server and followed the lines of
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/configurations/trunk/misc/eelco-dutibo.nix
and
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/configurations/trunk/misc/nicolas.b.pierron/mooloolaba.nix
section "xserver" but I did not come too far.

Started at the command line as "Xorg" it complains about missing fonts.
Let alone that it would start upon reboot.

Currently I'm running the nixos in virtualbox - thus I expect no
surprises from the hard ware..

thanks for any help

/Jörg
