Hi, as someone who is increasingly playing with IPv6, I thought I might raise this question in LTSP just to see what the situation is. I know anyone who need LTSP to be IPv6 capable, but I guess it's something that should be somewhere on a roadmap.
At some point (in quite a while), people are going to want to start turning off IPv4 services. Less far off perhaps, is the day when a few websites or other services might appear which are available over IPv6 only. In a pure thin client, the LTSP server is all that needs IPv6 in this instance. However, firefox running as a local app would mean the thin client would need IPv6. I would expect that to "just work" if router advertisements were seen and the connectivity worked. It works on most disk-based linux images after all. There's a few questions then: 1. Can one PXE boot purely over IPv6? Do you need DHCP6 or could one get away with stateless autoconfig (probably not?)? 2. Do any PXE enabled network cards actually support IPv6? Perhaps a PXE image on a floppy even? 3. Assuming the hardware could deal with it, how much of the LTSP boot process would break if the server only had an IPv6 address? I'm not suggesting this should all work right now, I'm just curious to know how far LTSP is from working over IPv6.
