Absolute Method:
1) Download and install Oracle's Virtualbox and all the needed software
2) Add yourself to the vboxusers group
( A quick tutorial for doing this is in: http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/05/how-to-install-virtualbox-3-2-on-fedora-13/ )
3) In the Configuration tab of your machines, go to "USB" and add three empty filters at least
4) Plug in your desired USB devices to the machine (You can Plug all at once or one by one) and in the "USB"
part of the Configuration tab of your machines go to "add filter by device" and start adding and checking all the
devices you have plugged to the PC.
5) Repeat this same process with all your VM's
