Re: Guix learning exercices

[Michael Dahlberg]

No practical exercises that I'm aware of, but David Wilson at 
systemcrafters.net and his youtube site has a lot of fantastic practical 
information on Guix.  Also, one of the best videos on Guix I've seen was done 
by Steve George (futurile) and his site has some really good practical 
information.

My suggestion would be to just dive in and start installing it (get David 
Wilson's customized ISO) and work through the problems.  When you have 
problems, ask people here.  They really seem happy to help.
