- That's funny, I could have sworn that these actually came from SunOS.
- Considering that 4.4ish is the first BSD system to have vnodes, and a decent
- memory-management scheme, I don't see how SysVr4 (which has been out for a
- couple of years now) could have gotten it from 4.4...

- >4) Job control
-
- Other systems had job control long before BSD did.

- >5) csh
-
- I use bash or ksh. csh has too many problems.

- >8) mail/sendmail/smtp
-
- Other systems had smtp before, no? sendmail isn't that great, and there are
- other systems that deliver mail without the horrible configuration problem
- that sendmail is. And UNIX had mail *long* before UCB ever started playing
- with unix!
