I've tried to install NixOS on an old laptop, for a minimal installation, there were some things I did non like:
* Default packages are compiled with all the dependencies
* The configuration language is a functional programming language, and that's a plus, but the syntax is quiet weird, not similar to ML, Haskell nor Lisp.
* some command line tools are cryptic at best, for example searching for available packages is done with nix-env -qa \* -P | fgrep -i "$1"
