I've been using guix containers on foreign systems to bring some Guixy
goodness to the unwashed sysadmins out there. When the container starts
up it displays a message like "Run 'sudo nsenter -a -t 65698' to get a
shell into it." Sometimes when I try to do that I'll get an error
message back about the system's nsenter not knowing about the '-a' flag.
I have found that using a 'guix container' command works well for me.
