I think Bob was referring to pctech101.com.
The cheap "ripoff" CDs have been around almost as long as Linux
itself, and it is quite a bit of a grey area. RedHat seems to have
gotten tired of them and now require that their trademark at least
isn't used (so we now have WhiteBox Linux, etc.). But on the other
hand the ripoffs do provide an element of free advertising and market
penetration, so SUSE may or may not decide to do anything about
them.
(I'm in no way affiliated with SUSE, who may well choose neither to
confirm nor deny any of the above.)
