I hope this helps.
You are correct in saying you cannot have App manager open whilst trying to use apt-get on the command line (ie xterm).
There are no "file databases"
Having file explorer open should not be a problem.
Having an app open that "accesses the N900 file sytem" is perfectly OK. In fact it's impossible to stop all apps that access the file system.

This is probably because a 10-year-old doesn't need what you want and is far better off with his ipod.

Also "dpkg" is the name of the primary package manager of Debian
It comes from "Debian GNU/Linux Package Manager"

So basically it installs the package you are pointing to.

I had to OC my N900 to 1GHz with also running swappolube. Maemo is great OS, but far from optimized, i guess Digital Chocolate let their hands down trying to make it run good on N900. You might hate apple, but you have to agree the OS is pretty smooth sailing on that old CPU, and 3D games run great.

EDIT:
Would someone like me to make a comparison demo of this game? (iTouch / N900)
