They all use the Kame IPv6 stack (www.kame.net), but NetBSD integrated
IPv6 the longest time ago and has therefor a very stable IPv6 stack
and has the most userland support for IPv6. If you need stability
choose NetBSD-1.5. If you need the latest experimental IPv6 features
to play with for research purposes or thelike, get the latest kame
snapshot for either NetBSD or FreeBSD. I personally have used both
NetBSD and FreeBSD with IPv6, but all our routers now run NetBSD-1.5.
It just works, and the support from the NetBSD crowd wrt IPv6 is
excellent.

Yeah, sure. No problem. Just assign only IPv4 address to eth1 and only
IPv6 address to eth2.

I have gotten Redhat to run with IPv6 once. It wasn't fun. I won't do
it again for a while. Cannot help you there, but maybe you want to
check out the USAGI project (do a search for its URL, or dig in the
archives of this list or the ipng list) that aims at improving the
IPv6 support for Linux.
