-A *local store* exists on the local filesystem of the machine where
-Nix is invoked.  The `/nix/store` directory is one example of a
-local store.  You can use other local stores by passing the

-A *remote store* is a store which exists anywhere other than the
-local filesystem.  One example is the `/nix/store` directory on
-another machine, accessed via `ssh` or served by the `nix-serve`
-Perl script.

 A *binary cache* is a remote store which is not the local store of
 any machine.  Examples of binary caches include S3 buckets and the
