Many modern UNIX distributions for x86 (PC) platforms include drivers for popular devices. I suggest RedHat Linux as a good starting OS, or Solaris X86. Either can be downloaded if you have a fast connection and some patience or can be purchased on CD with documentation for a nominal fee (suggested).
