Wal-Mart just sold a few million of these laptops at $299 a pop (entire 
in-store inventory nationwide sold in under 24 hours):

AMD CPU, ATI graphics, RealTek wireless & ethernet, SATA/300 hard drive, 
CD/DVD reader+burner.  And all of it works flawlessly on Fedora 
12/x86-64, including dual-boot with the installed Windows 7.

Kudos to everyone, especially the wireless and X/graphics hackers.  This 
was a volume platform that IMO Fedora could not afford to screw up, and 
F12 easily gets high marks.
