   There is a Linux+IPv6 HOWTO at The Linux Documentation Project

www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6

   There is plenty more information at

www.ipv6.org

and organisations such as ARIN and Nominet are putting more information
online.

   There are various new terms such as stateful and stateless which are easy
enough to understand, together reasons why they exist.
