####What's a configuration.nix file
#### What's a configuration.nix file

See the [NixOS manual](http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/#ch-configuration).

####Isn't this just nix-shell?
#### Isn't this just nix-shell?

No. `nix-shell` will drop you into a chroot, with any required build
dependencies, but won't handle dependent *services*. `nixos-shell` will
drop you into a *containter* which is closer to booting a virtual machine
with everything you need.

####Isn't this just nixos-container?
#### Isn't this just nixos-container?

Not quite. `nixos-shell` builds on tops of `nixos-container` to spawn
a temporary environment. That is, it sets up your environment, gets you
logged in, then takes care of tearing it up and tidying up after you when
you log out.
