How is this?
<h4 id="guix_containers">Linux container support</h4>
<p>
GNU Guix currently supports the installation of GuixSD on virtual
machines and physical hosts. The goal of this project would be to
add another installation target: containers. A container is an
environment that is similar to a virtual machine but without the
overhead that comes with running a separate kernel and simulating
hardware. Containers are isolated on a host system through Linux's
control groups and kernel namespaces.
