You can get vmplayer for free, and I'm pretty sure there are some Fedora
images prebuilt so you want have to go through the install if you don't
want to.  As for hardware, ethernet works fine, either direct or natted,
wifi was a little tricky, but I think in my case that was due to the
Wireless card I had, and I've never used bluetooth in that setup, but I
suspect it would probably work.  YMMV.
