	this can be done now, with 'screenblank' and the recent kernels.

- suspend & resume as well as WinCE does 
- make it boot directly into *nix from startup

these last two items are really the sticking points for me... they're also
nearly impossible, as I understand it. one would need to be able to replace
the WinCE ROM with a carefully constructed *nix image (I believe Warner said
that the resume depends on a jump to a memory location in ROM).
I don't forsee anything like this soon, tho. :( (unless someone has a supply
of SODIMM EEPROMs and a burner for them and some knowlege of how to boot
this thing from the 'bare metal').
