Implying that BSD *isn't* "true UNIX", without being more precise about
what you mean by "true UNIX", is liable to garner you little but flames
here.

Actually, the Founders called their C compiler cc, not CC.  In my
experience, when CC exists it's a C++ compiler....

It's also not clear why anyone here would care about the CMU bootp
daemon when NetBSD already ships with a bootp daemon - if you have
reason to believe the stock NetBSD one is broken, you're more likely to
get helpful reactions if you explain why you think so.
