GuixSD as virtualization host

[Paul Harper]

At the present time is there any way to use Guix as a virtualization host
with Virtualbox-OSE, KVM, Xen or similar? I see qemu is available. I am
wondering if there are alternatives so I can run other free, open source,
or proprietary operating systems (in their own little prison) using Guix as
the host?

There’s indeed QEMU/KVM, which is free and does the job and does it well.  :-)

Currently Xen is unavailable.

Thanks,
