Have you tried debian testing? It is rolling release and generally as stable as ubuntu.

The last time I tried Debian Testing, it was still WAY behind Ubuntu. I moved to Ubuntu because it had things I wanted already in its repositories that Debian Testing didn't.

I even ran Debian Unstable for a while and still wasn't happy.

Mind you, that was my only complaint about Debian. I think it's a great distro, just a bit dated due to stability concerns.

I have and the reason I stick with ubuntu is because I use a laptop and ubuntu is actually the least hassle to configure to work well (usually just involves me downloading wicd, as the free drivers for ati seem to work fine).

I did however go back to LTS as I didn't like 10.10 because as always the .10s seem to perform awful for me.
