[Nix-dev] Nixos vps

[Thomas Hunger]

I tested various mechanisms and cloud providers over the last few weeks.
All providers I tested worked, although I often got less CPU than
advertised . Some combinations didn't work, e.g. I can't boot grsecurity
kernels on EC2. I'm sure the latter is possible, I just didn't have time to
investigate.

For installation I found nixos-infect [1] to be the best solution. It uses
obadz' undocumented NIXOS_LUSTRATE feature [2].
