IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4"). I don't see a date on the page. It was at the top of a google search list. "You are using IPv4 from 64.228.98.50" It says, which is true. So, is this the bleeding edge? Anyway, I don't think I'll need ipv4 *or* -6 since this is just for pc-2-pc use. But now I'm wondering why the +ipv4 flag wasn't added to the emerge options for the earlier package... > > > -- > gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
