This is good.  Now you need to declare what services in addition to the
base services you=E2=80=99d like to run.

To do that, add a =E2=80=98services=E2=80=99 field in the =E2=80=98operatin=
g-system=E2=80=99 declaration
above (see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Using-the-Configuration-=
System>):

  (services (cons* (tor-service)
                   (slim-service)
                   %base-services))

=E2=80=98slim-service=E2=80=99 is called this way because it starts Xorg wi=
th the SLiM
login manager; see
<http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#X-Window>.

HTH!
