It is prob not that far away.. But I would assume that it would be one of the last things to be added as not that many people have a need for this..

NOT TRUE! I have a full blown debian version with the 2.4 kernel AND SSH on my IPAQ with a 340MB microdrive.
If you choose not to go with the microdrive (cost) you can install it yourself including X-Windows on about 12-15MB free space. By default the SSH install is disabled but you can run ipkg which installs it for you.
