Your whole post is a giant CITATION NEEDED (bonus ancient quotes), but I'll focus on a single point:
tar being used for copying directories through the command dircp is to avoid code duplication. Why re-implement code for recursive directory descent over and over again with each implementation being subject of bugs? Better use what you already have.
dircp code is like this:
#!/bin/rcswitch ($#*) { case 2 @{ cd $1 && tar c . } | @{ cd $2 && tar x } case * echo usage: dircp from to >[1=2]}

9front has some Nintendo emulators and a Doom source port. I think there's some other little games too.

its so you could only use it for work(with work i mean programming since a text editor is probably the only thing it has). the people here think that computers should not be fun so you dont need browsers or games.
