In this case "Berkeley enhancements" means job control, improved
signals, networking, NFS, and almost all the other things we've
come to know and love about berkeley unix.  The only thing that
isn't there yet that I can think of is long file names.  Oh yeah,
and they use the System V print spooler and login/init/getty.

The long and short of it is that Sun took 4.2 and went towards
System V.  Apple took System V and went towards 4.2.  By the time
it's all said and done they look pretty much the same.
