Well, while I love Gentoo and would never change it with anything else,
Debian is (still) the undiscussed champion in terms of number of
available packages.
$ wget -nv http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages
12:32:32 URL:http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages
[3585331/3585331] -> "allpackages" [1]
$ grep '^
22753
For unstable, the number is even higher:
$ rm allpackages
$ wget -nv http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages
12:34:12 URL:http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages
[4924226/4924226] -> "allpackages" [1]
$ grep '^
27602
But we'll get there as well! :-)
