The only downside is if you decide you want to put Linux
back.
The process described at: http://www.trisoft.de/ was
not as straight 
forward as it describes for my C3200.

But as you said no linux is no downside :~)

I've not personally tried it, but these instructions seem to
detail a
way to install the Cacko Linux "ROM" and modify it
such that it will
boot from the flash only, without having to mount any
partitions on
the hard drive:
