In fact, it looks like it's based around familiar linux (the Open Embedded generated distribution for iPAQs, similar to OpenZaurus).

And about the usb-eth, for using it between the iPAQ and a PC, it was as simple as modprobing usb-eth in the iPAQ and modprobing usbnet in the PC. Then you configure the usb0 device in both sides (with ifconfig, in the same way as you configure eth0), and voilà, you have networking using usb ;-).

It seems that the iliad has an static IP for usb, but we don't know if it has the usb-eth module loaded... what are the contents of /proc/modules ?

And another bit of info: in the screenshots tribble posted, it shows that it's using minimo (a stripped-down version of mozilla for the GPE environment, used i.e. in the GPE images for the zauruses). That is, it's not firefox.
