Just interested, how would you do this?  Does win ce have an ssh server?
Unless I'm badly missing the point: these boards have full video etc. so can
run programs in exactly the way that "real" computers do.

Oh, right.  The devices I've used in the past had no keyboard and a
small screen, so this would've been hard.

I've got 4x boards here that are basically ARM-based PCs, even booting from an fdisked CompactFlash. Trouble is that they've only got CE on them, and the manufacturer quoted something outrageous to "upgrade them to Linux firmware"- which in practice I suspect only means replacing the CF. One of my forthcoming activities is to disassemble the CF boot sector and try to boot something like OpenFirmware, i.e. make the board look very much like the Sun and Mac systems I've got.
