This isn't the cd you're thinking of, but something similar: The Droplift Project. A compilation of sampling artists who pooled their funds to press an album. But instead of trying to get retailers to sell the disc, they all went out and made a "droplift" - bringing the cds serruptitiously into the stores and leaving them in the bins for other people to buy.
The music is also freely available on the website: www.droplift.org
Actually, some of them do. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but the idea of U.S. military tasks being outsourced to private companies is a little bit creepy to me.
To quote the site: "The immediate goal of the project is to enable interested parties to build inexpensive, PPC-based Linux boxes from IBM's reference plans. In the longer term, we hope to expand the open-source ideals expressed in the GPL to hardware projects, primarily motherboards."
Just a little addition about "IBM's stance towards Altivec appears to be weakening though with their upcoming chip", namely, The Register has something to say about it.

That's the IBM experience - value and support.
And the best part? It's only a $50 download.
Bork bork bork!

I've been launching Atlas V's for a while now. Typically at walls or out the window.
There's always OpenPPC.
