Sorry, I was not clear. I do not want to build on my laptop (the noise
drives me nuts :). So I want to build on a remote server and install
on my laptop, or on compute nodes, or whatever. With Nix it is
possible. Does Guix allow caching of packages, so I can share. Of
course it does, question is how :). Do I revert to Nix?
