Hi .. I have a U100 that completed a few days ago 2 years in my hands .. I also wrote this not up-to-date page .. http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~jaatavaresf/Libretto_U100/ .. that everytime someone asks me about linux+libby, I remember to update .. I have lots of pictures and stuff related to it .. If you don't find the docs you're looking for, return the contact and I'll take a look here .. I bought 1GB a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to arrive from the US..
