Then, assuming you've got a working IPv6 connection, fire up your
favourite browser with IPv6 support (ie. Mozilla Firefox), and browse
IPv6 web: http://www.kame.net/ is a good start (you should get a dancing
kame image).

My Slackware mirror is also accessible via IPv6 (both http and ftp):
ftp://ftp6.slackware.pl/pub/slackware/

Instructions for setting up IPv6 tunnel depend on your ISP/tunnel broker,
so I won't give you any particular hint.
