Several people use the kindle kernel and chroot to a debian loop mount. Details are in various threads. Search for "optware"...

Also, the framework is not in your face if you boot diags and SSH in.

The k4nt has SSH built-in but it is missing on the touch.

You can flash a touch diags partition with fastboot (mmcblk0p2) that has SSH pre-installed. There is a link in the "Select Boot" first post. Start it (just like for the K4NT) with diags menu N) U) Z) X)...
