I've installed debian on the Libretto 50CT - unfortunately I have since
upgraded to a sony picturebook (c1x, the dog slow model of the line) and
didn't think to save some of my configs (gave my 50CT to my older
brother). I can, however, tell you that I found linux on laptops to be a
godsend, and I am quite sure I found a usable basic Xfree config through
that which I proceeded to tweak to no end.

I see two for the 50CT and two for the 70 (one doesn't have the CT but I'm
not aware of any non-CT 70 model) ... the 50/60/70 are all *practically*
the same thing, just slightly different specs (I believe [[dont quote me]]
they're all the same hardware aside from ram/processor/hd).
There's also loads of interesting things to find at the Adorable Libretto
website - kind of a libretto fanclub. (I oc'd my libretto from 75 to 100
this way.... well... purportedly, the only noticable difference was it ran
a little hotter - but I didn't benchmark extensively beforehand).
best of luck,
