<BR>
Say one that uses the kernel/command line part of a long term distro and the gui and gui apps of a cutting edge distro (maybe 1 back from the cutting edge).<BR>
<BR>
An kernel upgrade cycle of say 3 years, but a GUI that stays current within it's release.<BR>

If you want something new, why do you think when CentOS 6 comes out it<BR>
will be new ? And for how long ?<BR>
<BR>
Either you stick with Fedora/Ubuntu and have something new, or you just<BR>
want to _use_ your computer and go with something less new like<BR>
CentOS/Ubuntu LTS. There is no middle path.<BR>
