Is true that there are more drivers available for Linux when compared
to Solaris, FreeBSD or any other UNIX and UNIX like server systems
running on INTEL processors? |

Mostly. There are still some backward hardware manufacturers (eg: Canon) who
haven't embraced Linux, but they are slowly realising that they're losing
market share to companies that do provide Linux drivers. HP (for example)
provide a comprehensive programme suite for their printers and scanners, and
many Linux users would choose their products first.
