Now this is interesting... apparently it is possible to run Nix AKA "The Nix Package Manager" on Alpine -- despite the fact that Alpine is Busybox and Musl based, and NixOS is Coreutils and Glibc based!

Well done, Nix engineers and contributors!

(I may switch to Alpine w/Nix Package Manager in the future, depending on how well it works!)
