Well Enterprise Edition ( which costs the most if you license it eventually ) has the most but Standard Edition also has a GUI that has "most of" the features of Enterprise Edition.

After you register you should be able to get to a download page ( use download tab then the database option ) that has this stuff ...( below in a copy and paste ).

If you are just experimenting right now 11.1 release is out for all platforms ( well most platforms anyway ) and 11.2 is out for linux only at this point.
