You're younger than I am, so I don't want to hear it.
To run the "new improved" ipv6 you need a few things:
1. kernel compiled for ipv6
2. apps/services compiled for ipv6
3. a way to connect to an ipv6 network (an ipv4 tunnel)
and if you want any connected hosts beyond the router to get to the 6bone,
you also need a (r)outer (adv)ertisement (d)eamon (radvd)
4. you'll also need to resolve ipv6 addresses, so you must run BIND v9
(v8 won't do AA RRs).
What did I forget? Oh yeah, ipv4 is 32 bits long (4 octets, separated by
dots), ipv6 is 128 bits (16 octets, separated by colons). If v4 netmasks
gave you headaches ... (guess that's why it's all automated).
