Including this, there are three (3) HOWTO documents available. Apologies, if that is too many ;-)
The first IPv6 related document was written by Eric Osborne and called Linux IPv6 FAQ/HOWTO (please use it only for historical issues). Latest version was 3.2.1 released 14. July 1997.
Please help: if someone knows the date of birth of this HOWTO, please send me an e-mail (information will be needed in "history").
There exists a second version called IPv6 & Linux - HowTo written by me (Peter Bieringer) in pure HTML. It was born April 1997 and the first English version was published in June 1997. I will continue to maintain it, but it will slowly fade in favour of the Linux IPv6 HOWTO you are currently reading.
Because the IPv6 & Linux - HowTo is written in pure HTML it's not really compatible with the Linux Documentation Project (LDP). I (Peter Bieringer) got a request in late November 2001 to rewrite the IPv6 & Linux - HowTo in SGML. However, because of the discontinuation of that HOWTO (Future of IPv6 & Linux - HowTo), and as IPv6 is becoming more and more standard, I decided to write a new document covering basic and advanced issues which will remain important over the next few years. Dynamic content will be still found further on in the second HOWTO (IPv6 & Linux - HowTo).
