Firsts in NetBSD




I'm writing some documentation for a class I'm teaching soon at my job. One section covers various BSD's (each separate) contribution to features in the collective endowment of Unix variants out there.

Here are the things I believe NetBSD was first at doing. Can anyone else think of ones that'd be worthy of note to a group of up-and-coming Unix geeks ?

* First with a USB stack (beat Linux didn't it?)
* First with TCP Auto tuning (Linux's autotune based on NetBSD's strategy)
* First with Free ports to Alpha, HPPA, and MIPS (true?)

I know there are more NetBSD "first to do XYZ". Does anyone care to correct those three or give me some more? Thanks in advance, friends.
