True, but these days nearly every Linux distribution ships the free
Bitstream Vera font set, which includes a sans-serif with metrics
similar to Verdana. Also, the "core web fonts" are typically available
as an easily-installed package for most distributions, which will
provide Verdana and other fonts. I've found that the following works
well for providing compatibility to Linux users (and as a full-time
Linux user for a number of years, I can personally attest to its
effectiveness):

Verdana, "Bitstream Vera Sans", "Lucida Sans", sans-serif
