Not quite. :-) The QEMU image is not NixOS, because NixOS provides extra features, such as whole-system configuration (including services, etc.), and whole-system transactional update & rollback. The QEMU image is basically cross-built using Nix, and because of that, it uses per-package installation directories under /nix/store. So, technically, I would call it a “Nix-based GNU QEMU image”, or something like that. > Any yes, you do get extra credit points for reviving and using smbfs. The next step in that area would be io_map support in libnetfs, which would allow executables and libraries to be loaded off smbfs and such. Thanks, Ludo’.
