This has many advantages, but also some drawbacks of course.

+ installed under /nix/store, and some tools to manipulate the
store. In Nix there is the notion of a derivation rather than a
package. The difference can be subtle at the beginning, so I
will often use the words interchangeably.
Derivations/packages are stored in the Nix store as follows:
- /nix/store/hash-name,
+ /nix/store/hash-name,
where the hash uniquely identifies the derivation (this isn't quite true,
it's a little more complex), and the name is the name of
the derivation.
Let's take a bash derivation as an example:
