When I said a lot of typing, I was thinking about if one has to use IPv6 to ssh into a rig. As it is here, ssh dale@10.0.0.6 is it. Now replace that IP with a IPv6 address. I'm hoping for a copy and paste option or tab completion would be nice. Let's not even get into the increased odds of a typo. After all, one wrong character, no worky. :/ Given that we running out of IPv4 tho, IPv6 it is. Something had to change. I guess IPv6 was the best long term option. Still, gonna be a head scratcher for some of us. Dale :-) :-)
