On another point: is there anywhere in the book that IPv6
can be gently introduced or is that too much to take on at the beginner's
stage?

I guess there are some ISPs that are using ipv6 now, but not mine. Internally I also use a private ipv4 address space and my router does NAT to the address given to me by the ISP.

That said, I think the ipv6 issues would be:

kernel configuration
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0

and possibly:
/sbin/ifup
/sbin/ifdown
/lib/services/ipv4-static

The last should work for ipv6 except for messages. The configuration files should only need to specify the proper ipv6 address.

I really can't fully test ipv6.  Is there something else?
