Ubuntu is a branch of sid, but the main Ubuntu repository is much larger than what is shipped on the install CD. So I don't know if we *support* more packages than Fedora, but we certainly have more packages available, ready to rock, in our *centralised* repositories that anyone on our maintainer teams can contribute to... and *anyone* can get involved in Ubuntu maintainership. :-)
