Recommended Software For Fresh Install, Looking for nice theme, needed software. Options

[brownb2]

I'm got a standard SL 5500 that I've not used in a while. I'm looking to do a minimalist install on the stock Sharp 3.13 ROM.

Primarily I need

A good minimalist theme (unlike Sharp's eyeball burning attempts)
A swap file manager
A media player (I've already purchased TKCVideo a while ago, and I use the Sharp player plugin for oggs)
VNC

Are there any other recommendation, e.g. a good file manager?

My aim is to have as much free internal memory as possible, while being completely functional as a mobile media player, an encyclopaedia, occasionally run Java programs.

Thanks,

Benjamin
