[PLUG] IPv6 (was: Network snag)

[Richard Langis]

Okay, so I apt-get'ed the freenet6 client, got it working, went to the 
freenet6.net page, and got a login and everything is all peachy keen.

Now...why use a ipv6 tunnel?  I looked around the site, but there wasn't 
really any *why* listed for the project.

Granted, ipv6 will be a good thing, but only when *everyone* starts 
using it.  Is the freenet6 project trying to increase awareness and get 
people used to using ipv6 address space so that the transition (when it 
happens) will be seamless, or...?

That said, I either compile in or make a module for ipv6 in every 
install.  Now if only my switches and ISP used 'em.  ;)
