> By that same token of advice, why not just disable IPv6 yourself?

I have done!

It took me eight hours of my own time, spread over several days, and the involvement of five members of the Ubuntu community on the newbie forum, to work out that I needed to do that.

I would have been seriously more impressed by Ubuntu if I hadn't had to go through all that.

So at this point, I know that every time I do a new install of Linux (Ubuntu or otherwise), the first thing a sensible person does is disable IPv6, then get to work on customizing the desktop to taste etc etc.

What are my options now? (a) disappear safe with my knowledge but let others keep suffering, (b) monitor the newbie forums and help everyone, (c) get the devs to do something to fix the problem, (d) contribute a fix the problem myself or (e) wait for the whole universe to get sorted on IPv6?

I've chosen (c) because it's best for the community, best for me, and the most I can actually do
