You either setup a local 6to4 tunnel or create an account with a tunneling provider. > - they themselves know next to nothing about IPv6 The 6to4 method is simple to implement. You just have to have the correct hardware configuration. No specific IPv6 knowledge is required beyond following some directions. There is another method for tunneling, which Microsoft Windows uses, that involves UPnP (to forward an IPv4 port on the local router). It is called Teredo[1]. Most dumb $40 routers support UPnP by default so Fedora could add Teredo support and provide easy-to-use (default?) IPv6 access.
