My self I use Debian for my desktop and CentOS for my servers. With Debian always can I get the newer "killer app" for Gnome.
What would be really great would be an intermediate level solution - the stability of the RHEL/CentOS base with available updates for KDE / GNOME / GIMP / PHP / MYSQL / POSTGRES etc. compiled on that base for those who want more current apps on the desktop or for development. And that with something considerably less experimental than the all-or-nothing FCn releases.
Yes, I'm dreaming.
You might like ubuntu which doesn't force you to make a choice between stability and having up to date applications, although they haven't been around long enough to see if they can really manage a fast release schedule without introducing a lot of new bugs.
---- the notion of being 'forced' to choose between stability and up-to-date is absurd - the reality is as it is.
Stability is tested, confirmed, supported.
Up-to-date is new, less tested, less confirmed, not supported.
One cannot be both. Ubuntu similarly makes choices - the choices aren't apparent to user until user chooses repositories for apt - after all it is a Debian distribution.
Sometimes I wish you understood your own references.
