Hello!

If you=E2=80=99ve missed it, the Aug. 1st edition of Linux Weekly News (LWN=
) had
an article about Guix: https://lwn.net/Articles/560760/ .

It=E2=80=99s well written and conveys the important ideas, though there are=
 a
couple of misunderstandings (such as =E2=80=9CSome of the key fields to con=
sider
are build-system, which tells Guix how to compile the package from
source if no binary is available=E2=80=9D; see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Defining-Packages>
for the explanation of =E2=80=98build-system=E2=80=99.)

Guix is so fashionable, spread the word!  :-)

Thanks
Ludo=E2=80=99.
