No, I really shouldn't say it. But anyway. What you've just asked for reads almost exactly like the specs for Mandrake 8.1 (due out in a month or so). In my experience, you're not going to get this out-of-box from Debian, because it tends to focus on stability rather than bleeding edge (though you always have the option of moving to testing/unstable via apt-get and friends), whereas Mandrake sticks the latest version of everything in and tries to make it work together. Both paths have merits. But if you want the latest stuff, you're not going to find it in standard Debian without a fairly long upgrade process. Possibly Progeny and others have more recent packages while still being based on Debian, you might have some joy with them.
