I have always wanted a distro in-between long term support and cutting edge.
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).
An kernel upgrade cycle of say 3 years, but a GUI that stays current within it's release.

The subject says it all. I'm asking because I've found Fedora 9 to be buggy as hell - it is one of the worst Fedora releases I've ever used (and I've been using it since Fedora Core 1). I'm putting up with it for my work laptop, but it's not fun. :(
My main home machine is still on Fedora Core 6 and will stay there until CentOS 6 comes out. I don't want to use CentOS 5 because it's upstream is based on Fedora Core 6, and I want something new! When CentOS 6 hits, I will be using it for my work laptop.
I might just keep Fedora for home my machine. I haven't decided yet if I want to move up to Fedora 10 or CentOS 6.
If you want something new, why do you think when CentOS 6 comes out it will be new ? And for how long ?
Either you stick with Fedora/Ubuntu and have something new, or you just want to _use_ your computer and go with something less new like CentOS/Ubuntu LTS. There is no middle path.
