Re: [Dorset] Which Linux Distro for old laptop? (Brian R Masterman)
Downloaded SliTaz and first impression suggest that this could be a really good solution. I hope it fulfils its promise. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it.

It doesn't seem to work if both ends are using Teredo behind IPv4 NAT, but other than that it does allow you to connect to the IPv6 internet. In Ubuntu (and presumably Debian?) IPv6 support is as easy as 'apt-get install miredo'. It seems to be made of magic as it sets its self up automatically in seconds. I've done this on all of my Linux machines now. With Miredo I got 10/10 and 9/10 because my ISP's DNS server doesn't support IPv6. -- Andrew. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Wednesday 2011-05-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Hi Andrew, With Miredo I got 10/10 and 9/10 because my ISP's DNS server doesn't support IPv6. Do you get that elusive last point if you switch to 8.8.4.4 and/or 8.8.8.8? Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Wednesday 2011-05-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Do you get that elusive last point if you switch to 8.8.4.4 and/or 8.8.8.8? No, still 9/10. According to the info on the test which fails: *Confirmation:* |dig .v6ns.test-ipv6.com| should return back an record without errors. This returns SERVFAIL when using 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers. -- Andrew. -- Next meeting: Blandford Forum, Wednesday 2011-05-04 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
