* How do I configure my machine to setup the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to the
SixXS POP?
 http://www.sixxs.net/faq/?faq=ossetup

* How do I give connectivity to other hosts on my subnet? 
 http://www.sixxs.net/faq/?faq=usingsubnet

Note that both of these ofcourse apply to any tunnelbroker system.
You prolly also want to read Peter's excelent Linux+IPv6 HOWTO
which can be found at: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux+IPv6-HOWTO/
and ofcourse is also linked in those faq's.

OS choices all depends on 'taste' mostly, I tend to pick the best OS
for that specific circumenstence. One good thing about variation is that
one can learn about it, which is also one of the goals of the 6bone ;)
*BSD, Solaris etc is also documented on the above URL's.
