If you find stable a bit stoic and unstable a little wild, Debian has another distribution you may find just right: testing.
Testing consists of packages from unstable that have gone a couple weeks without incident. The result is a very current system with the bleeding edge problems smoothed over. Most of our production boxes are now on it.
