I run this configuration on most of my systems and don't have many
problems. There was some problem with apache, but it's now fixed. Also
java is broken and my bug report got ignored by sun, but it should be
easy patchable (preloading socket() and calling setsockopt(IPV6_V6ONLY)
works for me).
There were also some problems with dovecot listening on either 0.0.0.0,
or [::], but I don't remember details nor know they current state.
I don't remember any problems with vmware, but I don't use it now. Maybe
I was connecting to it only with IPv6.
I'm not sure if I wasn't forced to modify default configuration for
some daemons.
Jarek.
