At the Toys-R-Us in Antarctica, kids really don't grow up!

"Here lies a nearly-complete archive of Whole Earth publications, a series of journals and magazines descended from the Whole Earth Catalog, published by Stewart Brand and the POINT Foundation between 1970 and 2002."

Virt-Manager does allow you to edit the xml config file by hand from within the interface. So, yes you can use ipv6; but no, it's not a convenient point and click gui interaction.

I'd be curious to hear the specific reasoning behind it.

Qubes does allow creating a VM for just about any program or service. But, in my experience, it suffers from latency. So, while fine for web browsing, it wasn't too keen on playing videos. YMMV of course, but Adobe products are already hogs without the emu layer.

People keep saying they need a light and fast distro - no systemd, no glibc - but it breaks a lot of other software. So, you need to be prepared to patch a lot of stuff, and build packages from source.

Personally, I would love more of them to consider FreeBSD. It's got all of those features, a linux compatibility layer if necessary, a more permissive license, etc. I'd just love to see a lot more developers helping over there.
