I've tested two Linux distributions in an IPv6 environment, Ubuntu 10.04 Server and CentOS 6. Granted I've only been testing services for a few months now but I've found that both can deliver adequate service delivery via IPv6. I did run into the connection tracking issue with CentOS 5 and you are correct, it is fixed in 6 (its also integrated into the ufw program so setting-up host-based rulesets are very easy in an IPv6 world). In my case, its mainly testing both platforms but I haven't discovered any significant issues with either, and this is running basic services (DNS, HTTP, SMTP, a few little python JSON servers) over a 6in4 tunnel on each platform. -Proto
