So I've been into Linux for a few years now and have been hearing about Nix quite a bit for the last year. Where is the best place to start, any good tutorial videos or blogs?

I was lost at the beginning. I found this video the most helpful. Good luck

Mainly I want to make my personal server deployments more robust. Currently I have a lot of pets being held together with ductape and bubblegum and would like to move towards cattle. The idea of just throwing a config out there and it does the rest sounds great.

Rather then shaping your system by setting up and installing stuff as your use it. You just have a master config and you declare what and how and boom you have it. Want to reproduce that machine? Copy the config and you have it.
