Fedora & BRLTTY installation info

[Talksina]

Hi,
after about a year, I decided to change my linux distribution, from 
ubuntu to fedora
Does this distribution have the hardware detection, i mean, does it 
detect the Braille display?
I have an alva braille system 40 (satellite series) it should work 
with brltty 3.5x and higher, and I had a lot of difficulties with 
ubuntu, because I had to compile brltty by hand and I didn't manage 
to make it work with the USB driver.
Should I have the USB-to-serial support compiled?
And, is it true that yum is similar to apt?
thanks a lot, in advance
