Heya,

For end-users, cool stuff would be:

	nguix	[ guix-ncurse

		u	[ update the aptitude cached list of all packages,
			[ installed or not... just package descriptions, nothing
			[ has been downloaded yet
		U	[ mark as 'wish to update'
		g	[ list the above marked for update packages, then fine tune
			[ using =, -, + ...
		g	ok, download what I really selected to be updated
			and update...

		note that the most important aptitude ncurse menu is 'Cancel pending
		actions' :)

	or using emacs, 'à la magit'

	M-x guix-status
		u
		U
		...

If I could just grab guile-gnutls and  “./configure && make && make install”
then I could compile, play, use, learn, contribute with/to guix...

Cheers,
David
