Howdy

Has anyone run Guix? I discovered it looking for Gnu Hurd distros. There 
aren't many and they don't work but Guix has a linux kernel or Guix 
running on Hurd. I downloaded the Hurd version and got a live qcow image 
that I could run on Qemu but that I couldn't install. I tried repeatedly 
but couldn't even get the Hurd version running again. I gave up and 
downloaded the .iso for Guix/linux. It is now downloading many packages 
in a VBox VM. The .iso wouldn't finish installing with Qemu, my 
preference, so I bailed on that.

Anyway I thought some might find it interesting and maybe someone can 
get the Hurd version up and running. (It ran fine the first time and I 
liked what I saw)
