Why would $3 be fishy? Have you looked at the Mandrake Linux postings
there? No mention of the box set or support. It's probably a person
burning them at home and printing their own CD labels (if they're even
bothering with the labels). No different than the CheapBytes people
selling Linux for $2 + S/H, this is just a different venue. (And the
person selling these is only charging $3.99 S/H as opposed to the $10
CheapBytes charged the last time I looked.)
Actually, looking further, the one for $2.98 seems to be regular CD's
the person probably had mass-stamped instead of self-burned.
The only problem with this whole thing I see might be the cutting and
pasting of info from Mandrake's site.
