I have never disabled IPv6 when installing or later. In my opinion, any problems are due to misunderstandings or a poorly configured network. I think Carlos had an example of the latter. (his providers problem, not his). I think James and Koenraad have both highlighted the issue in getting a Linux box to propagate an ipv6 prefix handed out by the provider. These are corner-cases though, they're not typical issues.
Right, my provider does not offer IPv6 to normal clients. Yes, perhaps I could get a tunnel of something from a third party, but I do not see fair doing my 300mbps through that. Lastly I have a problem with a WiFi point and the main router conflicting on who handles loacal IPv6 addresses, but I haven't bothered yet because there is none to handle. The main problem I think people have that forces them to disable IPv6 on their installs is "slow network", or failed connections. I think the DNS tells them of a site address as an IPv6, and of course, they can not connect. Instead, I configured somewhere (I forgot the file name) to say give IPv4 preference. Ah, /etc/gai.conf. # precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 10 # # For sites which prefer IPv4 connections change the last line to # precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100 A better one would be to convince the name solver to ignore all IPv6 answers. - -- Cheers Carlos E.
