Well, this is an old entry that looks like it’s been refreshed. In either case, we (www.vr.org) / Host Virtual have offered native ipv6 for the past year+ in multiple locations, and always have the latest Gentoo image available, via both PV or Xen HVM (Fully Virtualized) images. We’ll also meet Linode pricing, so give us a second look if you’re interested.

My only suggestion is to go for 32 bit so you processes don’t eat as much memory

Thanks Fred! I hadn’t called out revdep-rebuild, but I probably should have. I updated the post to do that in the last step.

emerge -va gentoolkit

without it you cannot do revdep-rebuild
