I can't advise as to fedora but I just purchased a computer from Tiger Direct before Xmas which is a hex core Phenton that came stock with one serial port. It is made by IBuyPower which is a gamers computer but it was only $800.00 without a monitor so if you install using a serial synth there's at least one stock system which still has rs-232 ports.
