I'd like to learn about and set up ipv6 on my new computer. It looks like
my router doesn't support it so I'll have to use an ipv4 tunnel to an ipv4
address. That's fine, I can set that up with my ISP and all IPv6 traffic
will be sent to to that address, ie my new computer. Then, what next?

Can anyone point me towards something I can read about setting it up on a
Slackware 11 computer and allowing ipv6 addresses for the other computers
in the house?

And then rewrite rc.inet1 or rc.local and definitely rc.firewall.

Then, assuming you've got a working IPv6 connection, fire up your
favourite browser with IPv6 support (ie. Mozilla Firefox), and browse
IPv6 web: http://www.kame.net/ is a good start (you should get a dancing
kame image).

My Slackware mirror is also accessible via IPv6 (both http and ftp):
ftp://ftp6.slackware.pl/pub/slackware/

Instructions for setting up IPv6 tunnel depend on your ISP/tunnel broker,
so I won't give you any particular hint.

Google for radvd.
