[Bug 24828] Re: IPv6 should be disabled by default

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
