 1. Install some packages from the channel:
 
-        $ nix-env -i hello

+   $ nix-env -i hello

    This should download pre-built packages; it should not build them
    locally (if it does, something went wrong).
 
 1. Test that they work:
 
-        $ which hello
-        /home/eelco/.nix-profile/bin/hello

 1. Uninstall a package:
 
-        $ nix-env -e hello

 1. You can also test a package without installing it:
 
-        $ nix-shell -p hello

    This builds or downloads GNU Hello and its dependencies, then drops
    you into a Bash shell where the `hello` command is present, all

 1. If you're unhappy with the result of a `nix-env` action (e.g., an

 1. You should periodically run the Nix garbage collector to get rid of
