Firsts & facts about NetBSD - wrapup
Here's everything from all the folks who gave me ideas or tidbits. Thank
you folks!
* First with a USB stack
* First with TCP Auto tuning (Linux's autotune is based on NetBSD's
strategy, Windows Vista also came later and used the same technique)
* First with Free ports to Alpha, HPPA, and MIPS
* First with an 802.11 stack, net80211.
* First with the extensible 802.11 radio-information header, radiotap.
* First to get C++11 on VAX
* First to get rumpkernel architecture and reuse kernel code as a library.
* Among the first free operating systems to use CVS shortly after it's debut.
* Among the first to support the Xen hypervisor
* Possibly the first, and definitely among the first free OS's to support the AMD64 processor architecture
* Among the most popular open source operating systems in Japan
