There's Ubuntu, Debian, Red Had, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, SuSE, Slackware...

A good way to find out is to look into Distro Watch. The web site more or less keeps a monitor on how popular a given Linux distribution is.

Probably Debian, with about 27000 programs in its repository. Of course, most of those applications could be run on other Linux distributions; they just aren't packed for them.
