Not really. At least originally (in BeOS), /boot/apps and
/boot/preferences contained links to the contents of /boot/beos/apps and
/boot/beos/preferences plus anything extra the user installed. So,
conceptually, /boot/beos/apps has "all applications in the system" where
/boot/apps has "all applications that are part of the base system". Same
for preferences. I gues sthis can be also extende3d to /boot/bin and
/boot/system/bin.
