Given that I mostly don't know about IPv6, what's the best way for
people to test IPv6 next Wednesday, given what I think are the
following common limitations:

 - they'll have one (or two if we're lucky) Fedora machines

 - they'll be using a private LAN behind a $40 router that doesn't
   know anything about IPv6

 - they have very limited time and want to do the minimum work possible
   to set it up

 - they themselves know next to nothing about IPv6
?
