+
+ <h4>About GNU Guix</h4>
+ <p>
+ <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guix">GNU Guix</a> is a
+ transactional package manager for the GNU system. The Guix System
+ Distribution or GuixSD is an advanced distribution of the GNU system
+ that relies on GNU Guix
+ and <a href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html">respects
+ the user's freedom</a>.<br /></p><p>In addition to standard package
+ management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and
+ roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and
+ garbage collection. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix
+ package manager, except that packages are defined as
+ native <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guile">Guile</a> modules,
+ using extensions to the <a href="http://schemers.org">Scheme</a>
+ language. GuixSD offers a declarative approach to operating system
+ configuration management, and is highly customizable and
+ hackable.<br />
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ GuixSD can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine. It is also possible
+ to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including
+ on mips64el and armv7.
