rupor-jailbreak is different from porkupan's original jaibreak in one thing ONLY - it incorporates rescue/restore functionality - so no SD card is later needed to produce full backups, restore from them and enter the device via terminal in recovery mode. Everything else is exactly the same.

minimal-root-zeam was quickly produced by porkupan right after device was "unlocked" and contains the usual set of Android applications - SuperUser, Zeam launcher, Coor Reader e.t.c. - no updates to this package were ever issued and none are planned. Porkupan now recommends rupor-minimal instead and uses it himself.

rupor-minimal took some time to develop - along with root functionality it has set of changes to original Sony apps (functionality similar to T1's AMR) hopefully making Sony's firmware a bit more functional. It does not contain any additional 3rd party software for reading books, etc. - so its called "minimal".
