hi... :) i'm just a gun fan... i use linux since 2000, debian. had a try with nixos, then i found guix. i' running it on top of jessie to use icecat as richard stallman suggests. i'm doing it for the kick's of it. i barely really understand what you say. i just want to use icecat and get acquainted with the new gnu system and integrate it well along with debian... for now.
