I will second the TeXLive distribution from CTAN.  I have been using it
since TeXLive 2010, and it has always behaved reliably.  I do not have
any ConTeXt document that I can typeset, but I can run the binary.

$ context --version

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 0.52
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: /opt/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2012.05.30 11:26

Hope this helps,
