   The distro with the largest choice of standard packages seems to be   
   Debian (and most of its offshoots). I think there’s something like   
   50,000 packages in there, at least on x86.   
      
   If you don’t like Debian “stable” releases, there are also the options   
   of doing a “testing” install ... or go for the ultimate in a   
   bleeding-edge setup with “unstable” ...
