Getting it running on actual iron took more effort than I expected, but lately distros like Ubuntu has spoiled the linux-crowd.
The hardest part about going all in is of you find some of the software you rely on not being packaged. There's just no way to "cheat" and ./configure && make'ing for way around: you have to learn the Nix language and package the software yourself. (Which can arguably be said to be a viral feature for getting more software packaged)
To me this was too much work to fit in an otherwise busy weekend and I just had to give up. Had I had more time to do things properly, I would probably have stuck with it.
The concepts it introduces are quite nice and well executed.
