Please see Rick Moen's previous post. SuSE, unless you are talking about
the evaluation version, is NOT FREE. It comes with various components
that do not permit redistribution. There is therefore no difference
ethically or legally between getting, using and distributing unlicensed
copies of SuSE or, say, Microsoft Windows. I believe we should be
extra-aware of issues like this in the free software world.

I burn at approx. 5 mins per 700MB CD at 16x write-speed. Perhaps you
read the read-speed of their CD writer.

Debian GNU/Linux and Gentoo are free software. Those can be
redistributed, and this is actually encouraged.
