Anyone have idea if any Linux distros support U3 on this drive (or any
others). www.u3.com.

Short answer: U3 is Windows software that just happens to be
particularly well embedded in some memory sticks. There is no Linux
support for it. Most of what U3 does is not useful on Linux machines
anyway.

Slightly longer answer: It's works pretty poorly (in my experience) in
Windows as well, and is rather rude and invasive, should you use your
memory stick in someone else's computer. I'd suggest removing it
unless you really really like what it does. Unfortunately that usually
requires a vendor-specific tool, as the U3 partition somehow magically
recreates itself if removed with normal tools (at least the one on my
Sandisk drive did).
