In `/etc/modutils/aliases` uncomment "alias net-pf-10 off". Then run
`update-modules` and you will have disabled IPv6.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
