vmware server is also free and a better choice than player for most applications. I use it quite extensively for windows (all with valid licences!) on ubuntu hosts. It is now easy to install on ubuntu, don't know how it would be on Fedora.
I've had variable success with usb. The implementation is a bit awkward. usb drives are pretty straightforward, usb bluetooth was particularly unsuccessful - I think in this case the (ubuntu) host kept trying to take back control of the bluetooth adapter. I've not used serial, but the option to set up that hardware is there. Kerry.
