And the question I'd like to know is why doesn't Slashdot start the ball rolling?
httpd-2.0.47 #./configure --enable-ipv6.... ...snip...
ifconfig eth0 add 2001:618:15::80
route -A inet6 add default gw 2001:618:15::1
I don't even think you need to explicitly./configure in support for it now.
Come on, what could be easier?
It's funny how the ones not wanting to change are the Americans, and the ones wanting change are the rest... Got enough IP addresses? Comfortable with things over there, are we? Don't like change?
I have a P800, and it wuold be really nice for a shoulder-surfer to read you writing your root password...:)
To anyone that owns one, make sure you back up your stuff regularly - you don't want to switch it on to find "Your filesystem is corrupt and must be formatted - Continue?" on it....
Yep, I'm actually not talking about P2P here - I'm talking about another internet - you seem to be on my wavelength.
If you fancy getting in touch, chuck me an email.
GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking
Nope, I would want a whole nother IP network to run whatever stuff I liked on. With its own DNS servers, etc. Just like the current IP network runs over a physical network, this IP network would run over the current IP network. Literally an Internet over the current Internet. Probably using IPSec to link the nodes of the new network up to each other.
Why don't we just establish an overlay internetwork between like minded people, and use our own addresses schema within it. It would suffer slowness, but currently, the only thing that stops you being anonymous on the internet today is the fact that your IP address is tied to you by your ISP. If we could work out some kind of dynamic routing and allocation protocol whereby I wish to join this new network, so I send a query out with my chosen IP, and if no-one replies that it is taken, then I use the address, and advertise the route to it, then you would be free to choose whatever address you like. (Of course, routing table sizes would need to be worked on to make sure they stay small). GNoIN? (Geeknet over Internet)
Arrrgh. Not another connect-to-my-toaster rant.
How about have-the-ability-to-connect-to-it-should-I-like-to -without-some-fucked-up-kludge-like-NAT. If you still think NAT is a neat idea, you've never tried to do anything interesting with a network. Just because IPv6 allows you to address any address, doesn't mean that you can't have a firewall (non-NATting) to say what addresses people can and can't get to on your IPv6 network, does it?
Incorrect. My government doesn't say that I can't leave the country to fly to, say , China. But the Chinese government has every right to decide who they let in.
Is that why URLs keep getting broken? Why do they break up long lines? As far as I know, HTML wraps anyway - that solution is much worse than the problem.
Still not entirely accurate. You're assuming that the broadcast address falls on.255. There are lots of networks where the broadcast can be.15, or.31, or.63, etc.
Slashdot Mirror
Now I don't have to learn it to get on the HF bands, I will probably learn it anyway because I'll buy a set, and it'll be on there.

Bravo Alan ;)
It's not like I work for one of the 3 you recommend or anything...
What would be cool would be PGPFone for the P800 - encrypted voice over IP.

I would be very pleased if you could include some more information about yourself in your sig - it seems to be quite empty at the moment.
PHP 5 is being integrated into the 2.6 kernels - should provide a noticable boost for web servers.
Nope, they're said that they're never going to support that, because people shouldn't be plugging cameras into webservers.
Is this all we can do? Is this Slashdot, or what...

You complete idiot. Do you honestly think that is why people want IPv6? Numbnuts.
That's what you think - but I was speaking to one of your colleagues, and they asked me to break it to you gently... :)
If you want to e-mail me, use my PGP Key.
OK, so why not include the key ID, or something to help people out with it.

He's a regular at the south Wales LUG most times. It's great having a super-hero just over the Severn bridge... :)

There are an awful lot of addresses per subnet to pick from - how will they track it to yours?
Install Mozilla for your mother, enable tabbing, disable popups and remote images in newsgroups and mail, and she'll be happier.

It's outrageous, ahem.
What was that program, by the way? (Just out of interest) I'd never heard of this before.
For companies it is. Haven't you ever heard someone talking about Linux 9?
The only other distro that an external company has asked me to install for some demo/trial software is SuSE.
