Hi Scott,
What is supported by another OS has no bearing on what Gnu/Linux
supports. It a matter of hardware/chipset/processor support. Debain
supports arm,mips,m68k,alpha,sparc, etc. The kernel can support all
kinds of hardware, you just need to get info about it and see if it is
supported under free software. I'd suggest getting all of the info that
Windows CE can provide and search for support for that under free
software. 
Cheers,
Kev
