Morning,

I just built a new computer and thought i'd give guix a go but after 
finally getting everything working to the install stage ... I hit a 
personal showstopper - no jfs support whatsoever.  It's mostly an 
afterthought on every other distribution but this was a surprise.

Any reason for this or is it just that nobody thought of it?

Anyway, I just ended up installing slackware-current and have then 
installed guix atop that, to grab a few packages and to get more 
familiar with it.  I would probably have had to do that anyway as it was 
probably too much to learn at once but I currently have a lot of spare 
time to fill, so tried guix first.

Regards,
  Z
