I really can't find objection to this listing. Most of the info is copies from 
the Mandrake site and they even offer free tech support. True, they could have 
listed the auction under the OS catagory, but I find it less objectionable then 
people selling Windows boot disks for the same price.

Looks like a small business www.linuxpcshop.com using eBay to get their name 
out. They won't care if the item sells as long as it draws traffic to the 
(unfinished) website.
