correct 'guix system reconfigure config.scm' files

[Quiliro Ordonez Baca]

I have 3 different config files:
pastebin.com/tmLvPAYG
pastebin.com/jmYHb6us
pastebin.com/aGHcY3Ey
I do not remember which one was good. Please criticize the sintax where
appropriate. Thank you.

good in what sense?

I think guile can critisize syntax errors, too.
try `guix system build config.scm`

In that it is correctly constructed.

So, this is the way to test if it is correct?

That is one way to test if there are problems.  If "guix system build"
fails, then it is not correct.  If it succeeds, then it might be
correct.  It is possible to successfully build an operating system
declaration that is syntactically correct but semantically incorrect.
For example, if your operating system configuration file defines a user
named "bob" when the user should actually have been "alice", Guix will
not complain even though it is not what you intended.
