IME, touch screens are simply way too error-prone for any sort of serious work. You can make them work, but only by adding a "swipe to confirm this input" step for any potentially-destructive activity. (AOSP "recovery" environments do have this, for a reason!) Current command-line environments are not well setup for this, but you could make this work in combination with a "web"-like interface (especially if designed around REST principles).
