Which ROM for newbie 5500?

[Ethereal]

I just ordered a refurb SL-5500 as a means of trying out Linux on a PDA, and while I\'m waiting for it to arrive, I\'m agonizing over which ROM to flash it with once it arrives.

My general impression is that, going from Sharp to tkROM to OZ, flexibility and configurability increase while compatibility/availability of software and drivers decrease.  Is this correct?  And if so, where is the best point of compromise?

Whatever I end up going with needs to provide:

PIM functionality
POP email client
Wi-Fi support (Symbol CF card is on the way)
Bluetooth support
Web browsing
GPS (negotiable)

Word processor and spreadsheet would be nice, but not must-have.  I\'m still in search of a good drug reference; I plan on giving TxDrug a try, or maybe trying to get ePocrates for Palm running on POSE.

I\'m intrigued by the configurability of OZ (especially the memory model--what genius at Sharp decided to use half the volatile RAM as a hard disk on a device into which arbitrarily huge amounts of nonvolatile flash can be added?), but I fear ending up with something \"flexible, powerful, sophisticated, etc\" that can\'t actually \"do\" anything (useful).

Ethereal,

You might wish to see the KOrganizer/KOPI thread on the ongoing discussion of a very flexible and powerful PIM  for the Z. I believe that some running OZ are having trouble running it, but I believe that the author of the Z\'s verson of KO is working on that next.
The biggest problem with KOPI is the lack of syncing with your host PC.
I am running Proto\'s tkcrom and am very pleased with its look and speed over the Sharp ROM. I have NOT tried OZ, so I speak from lack of experience.
I think the other needs you have are addressed through the tkcRom,  with some requiring other programs.
You may be as surprised as I was in almost replacing my laptop with the Z in many instances by adding the Targus keyboard. You can setup the keyboard and be working on the Z faster than it takes most laptops to bootup!
