+      GNU Guix is a purely functional package manager for the GNU system, and a distribution thereof.
+
+      In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
+      transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management,
+      per-user profiles, and garbage collection. 
+
+      It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded
+      domain-specific languages (EDSLs), to describe how packages are built
+      and composed.
+
+      A user-land free software distribution for GNU/Linux comes as part of
+      Guix.
+
+      Guix is based on the Nix package manager.
