The Guix System Distribution

Liberating. GuixSD is an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system developed by the GNU Project —which respects the freedom of computer users.
Dependable. The GNU Guix package manager, in addition to standard package management features, supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and more.
Hackable. It provides Guile Scheme APIs, including high-level embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) to define packages and whole-system configurations.
