+
+  <h4>About GNU Guix</h4>
+  <p>
+    <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guix";>GNUÂ Guix</a> is a
+    transactional package manager for the GNU system.  The Guix System
+    Distribution or GuixSD is an advanced distribution of the GNU system
+    that relies on GNU Guix
+    and <a 
href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html";>respects
+      the user's freedom</a>.<br /></p><p>In addition to standard package
+    management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and
+    roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and
+    garbage collection.  Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix
+    package manager, except that packages are defined as
+    native <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/guile";>Guile</a> modules,
+    using extensions to the <a href="http://schemers.org";>Scheme</a>
+    language.  GuixSD offers a declarative approach to operating system
+    configuration management, and is highly customizable and
+    hackable.<br />
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    GuixSD can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine.  It is also possible
+    to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including
+    on mips64el and armv7.
