I think pretty much all distributions of linux at least come with lex. My experience is only with Mandrake Linux. I don't know if it installs lex automatically, but it gives you the option to select which applications you want to install. Lex is definitely on that list.

Almost all of them. It's called Flex. They also have a builtin parser (generally Bison or Yacc).

lex (or flex) is needed to build X, so the odds that you'll get it in any distribution you choose are pretty high.
