GuixSD: > guix package -i emacs > guix package --install=emacs There is nothing ethically wrong about giving all this detail about these two free distros, but it seems totally redundant.

Let's not go overboard being uselessly helpful here. There are so many other things to do which would actually be useful. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
