Today I discovered NixOS, and the web site provides a nice VirtualBox appliance to easily download and test it. What I find is that it runs very well in VirtualBox, better than the Debian installs that I have built in it.
It functions differently than Debian, particularly package management and installing apps, so there is a learning curve.
