Linux Foundation Says All Major Distros Are IPv6 Compliant

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday November 30, 2008 @02:35AM from the getting-things-done dept.

ruphus13 points out news from the Linux Foundation, which announced that all major Linux distributions meet certification requirements for the US Department of Defense's IPv6 mandates. The announcement credits work done by the IPv6 Workgroup, whose members include IBM, HP, Nokia-Siemens, Novell and Red Hat. Quoting: "Linux has had relatively robust IPv6 support since 2005, but further work was needed for the open source platform to achieve full compliance with DoD standards. The Linux Foundation's IPv6 workgroup analyzed the DoD certification requirements and identified key areas where Linux's IPv6 stack needed adjustments in order to guarantee compliance. They collaboratively filled in the gaps and have succeeded in bringing the shared technology into alignment with the DoD's standards."

Why don't you just turn off the crazy configuration and just use the damned laptop the way everybody else on earth does? I guarantee it'll fix your issue.

There is only one O in the word lose. Do you not even read your own writing? Have you seen ANYONE other than ignorant blog posters using the word "loose" in the context you do?
