Nix is a purely functional package management program available for many 
different Linux distributions (and some non-linux distributions).  In 
particular, it is used by NixOS, a Linux distribution where Nix 
also manages the entire system configuration. See <http://nixos.org/>

Matita is an interactive theorem prover based on the Calculus of Inductive 
Constructions, and has some compatibility with Coq. See 
<http://matita.cs.unibo.it/>

Some tweeking of the Nix expressions is still needed before matita is 
incorporated into the main Nixpkgs collection.
