Reviews: Here's looking at Linvo, kid

| Since I got into the Linvo trial to try out their atomic updates, I'd like to
| talk some more on the subject. Though I haven't had a chance to install it yet
| there is another project out there with a surprisingly similar objective to
| Linvo. This other project is called NixOS. NixOS is a small distribution built
| on top of the Nix package manager, which is designed to make updates atomic
| and to insure the operating system is always in a usable state. As with
| Linvo's stated goals, NixOS is said to support multiple users installing
| different versions of software. Nix also has a roll-back feature. The result
| is supposed to be a system without global program directories (/usr/bin,
| /usr/local/bin, etc), instead each version of each package gets its own
| directory. NixOS is a research project and isn't targeted at home or business
| users. However, for people who are interested in trying out something
| different you can learn more from the project's website.
