%description
-Nix is a system for software deployment.
+Nix is a purely functional package manager. It allows multiple
+versions of a package to be installed side-by-side, ensures that
+dependency specifications are complete, supports atomic upgrades and
+rollbacks, allows non-root users to install software, and has many
+other features. It is the basis of the NixOS Linux distribution, but
+it can be used equally well under other Unix systems.
