From the peanut gallery: I disabled IPv6 quite some time ago. I don't recall
how I did it, but I might have that information in my notes, somewhere.
The reason that I disabled it (which might not be totally logical) is that in
IPv4, I have always had my computers (and LAN) behind a NAT device.
I could not find (in the searching I did) equivalent functionality for IPv6, so
I disabled IPv6 in hopes of keeping my systems (fairly) secure.
I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense, and I'm sure [some | many | most |
maybe almost all] will disagree, especially based on the 128(?)-bit address
space in IPv6, but that was the reason I disabled IPv6.
