I am thinking about the idea of calling Guix "the reference distribution" of GNU. That term seems inappropriate in two ways: * It comes from "reference implementation", which means an implementation intended mainly to be studied when making other implementations, rather than for real use. Guix is not meant only to be studied. * It suggests something that is basic and not at all fancy, whereas Guix is an innovative experimental approach. This leads me to think of calling it an "avant-garde distribution". Perhaps "The GNU Project's avant-garde distribution of GNU/Linux". This also avoids the undesirable effect of suggesting that other free distros are rejected.

Use Ekiga or an ordinary phone call.
