1. UxTheme Multi-Patcher
2. Human Visual Style Theme
3. IconTweaker.
4. Super Turbo Tango Patcher
5. Stardock BootSkin
6. LogonStudio

Configure IPv6 Tunnel in Ubuntu Linux

Posted on July 30th, 2008 in Linux | No Comments »

Configuring the IPv6 tunnel can be easily done in Derbian and Ubuntu Linux using Tunnel Setup Protocol Client (tspc). TSPC is a signalling protocol used to negotiate tunnel setup parameters between two tunnel end-points. Tunnel Setup Protocol Client allows you to connect and browse IPv6 network using IPv4. But before installing TSPC, you need to get IPv6 access through Freenet6. Just register at Freenet6 to obtain a username and password.

Now install tunnel setup prtocol client (tspc) with the following command.

sudo aptitude install tspc

or

sudo apt-get install tspc

This will install tspc.
Now its time to configure tspc. Open the default configuration file located at /etc/tsp/tspc.conf. Open this file in a text editor using a following command :

sudo gedit /etc/tsp/tspc.conf

Now you should give the username, password and hostname registered at Freenet6.

userid : itech
password : 12345678
server ; broker.freenet6.net

Search, userid, server, and passwd variable in file and set them as follows:

userid=your-name
server=broker.freenet6.net
passwd=your-password
