Hi, a short update on the multiple providers I'm talking with at the moment.
This just in after the holidays from 1984 ehf, iceland.

All in all not problematic, and they'd even add GuixSD to the list of available isos
once there is an iso.

So, what's the status on the ISO, who's working on it?

We run kvm - qemu, and you do not need non-free software for the guest nor the host to run it successfully.  If you have an iso I would happily add it to the list of isos available to use.  If or when you are ready I can also dd an image to your VPS setup with us, if you like.
