$45 will get your a beaglebone which the last of the core support has
landed in 3.11 and I'm testing the kernel now and there should be a
F-19 remix soon...
But no hardware virtualization right? I think the minimum we should
target for Fedora development machines is whatever supports hardware
virtualization, which is A-15 IIRC.
However a $45 option *is* good for people on limited budgets or people
who want to play with ARM but don't care about virtualization.
