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 '^<dt>' allpackages | wc -l 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 '^<dt>' allpackages | wc -l 27602 But we'll get there as well! :-) -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
