Only the Gutsy ones, trying to use the Feisty repos would create problems, just like trying to use Feisty repos with Gutsy, 2 dif architectures, so you would have issues.

You can also just blacklist ipv6 module in Ubuntu, though:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Just add
# Disable IPv6 support
blacklist ipv6
Then reboot. However, switching to Mint gives a whole new experience, so.... :)
