How is this?

<h4 id=3D"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.
