IPv6 was integrated/implemented quite a while before that - starting 2006, I was using an ipv6 tunnel - I don't know what that corresponds to in terms of SUSE/openSUSE releases, maybe 10.0 ?
I think(!) the /etc/hosts used to be "127.0.0.2 linux.site linux" (I see it mentioned in several places on the net)
I also see it mentioned way earlier, on the suse-linux-e lists in 2001, but unfortunately the archive is gone. I don't quite get why 127.0.0.2 should be a topic now, almost twenty years later:-)
I first read about IPv6 in the April 1995 issue of Byte magazine. I've been running it since May 2010. Also, I could never understand why an entire class A address block was assigned to loopback. IPv6 has a single loopback address, ::1. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
