Well, the first thing would be the signed rpm packages. You can quickly tell where an rpm was forged by checking its signature. Second, have you ever tried to create a distribution of todays girth and order the cd's properly? If it asks you to insert a disc you have already inserted its probablly forged. Third getting master cd burns is more expensive than it looks, and to get a properly boxed set someone had to do it for you... which makes it really easy to track down who did the forgery... which breaks the first rule of doing such a operation, dont get caught:)

Thats just a quick overlook, but you get the point.
