Hello Guix!

Now that the last (!) core-updates branch has been merged, Guix/Hurd on
real iron has become a reality.  It's still experimental and certainly
not for daily use, but exciting for sure!  Read all about it in this new

Thank you Jan. Incredible work everyone! We want to hear from the first
person who runs Hurd as a daily driver :). Looks like it is close.

Thanks for your work and for having it all summed up in one article!

You wrote "This allows the usage of the Intel 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
of the Thinkpad X60" and I happen to have a X200s. According to ThinkWiki [1]
it’s supposed to have the same e1000e driver, but a different controller: 82567LM.
Any chance that trying to install the Hurd on my laptop also works!? 🤞
I guess I’ll just have to try and see! 😎

I didn't have any luck yet booting my X230, so that would be
interesting.  Especially because it might run the 64 version
in time.
