Nice work, Ernesto. I actually have a larger hard drive on order for my laptop so I can try the GNU System w/Guix on bare metal. There will be some issues such as the Intel wireless hardware, but I also have an Atheros based USB adapter from Think Penguin I can try. If nothing else I'll have far more drive space for VM disks in the Debian partition. :-) Also, your instructions for installing Guix on Slackware is interesting to me. With Debian moving to systemd, I am looking back at Slackware and now GNU should systemd become intolerable. As Slackware has a rudimentary concept of package management, Guix seems like a good fit. At this time this is all a fun experiment for me. Thanks! - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
