I think I'll pass, especially after it turns out the FBI sold and marketed an encrypted device/network and then proceeded to arrest over
800 people as a result of it.

A Linux-based phone is sounding like a better idea the more I look at it. Can I get a GUI-based IRC client and VPN?

Android is linux-based. http://source.android.com
Android may have a lot of Linux code under the trunk, but it certainly does not feel like using a common Linux distribution at all.
I suspect PF is thinking of a phone which loads a Linux+GNU
distribution, as the ones people runs on servers or workstations :-)

What would you expect a Linux phone OS to look like? Would you want it to r a Linux window manager like Gnome or Compiz or something and run Linux deskt apps?

What I miss is using common Linux / GNU Coreutils tools out of the box
for day to day management. In a "proper" Linux phone you could use
apt-get or sbotools to install a Strongswan package, use /etc/ethers
for setting arp entries, and Iptables for firewall rules.
There are ways to run proper Linux programs on Android, but they are limited and feel much like running an emulator.
I am not sure common window managers are a great fit for small screens myself. Big desktop environments seem to be bent into being usable on mobile devices but I have never tried them on that environment.
Imagine finally being able to do the "docked phone as a desktop" deal companies have tried selling for years. Make a clamshell with a monitor, keyboard, trackpad, and just enough guts to run VNC, and VNC into your phone, running a full Linux distro.
Or, VNC in from any old desktop and get a full environment that you can take with you.
