Debian has over 20,000 packages available. Ubuntu is in the same area. For some reason Ubuntu ships with traceroute6 installed, but not traceroute. Should one wish to stay with the command line, "aptitude search" and "apt-cache search" help. In all due respect, Debian Lenny (current stable release) ships with traceroute, traceroute6, and more. For good security reasons, it does not ship with the esteemed gnu C compiler. It can be easily installed if you want it and know why you want it.
