Drifting sideways, how good is IPv6 support in Linux now?  I should be
able to get set up with a colo box in the next few months, and I've been
desperate to get an IPv6 address block for _ages_.  I expect the routers
round here don't support it, but it should be possible to encapsulate it
over IPv4 to other v6 places.  Then I'll run it down my (as yet un-got)
ADSL line and hook up my fridge (hooray!).  I would definitely be quite
happy to be offering experimental IPv6 services in about 3 months time
if anyone else is interested.

Bill.
