I "experiment" with the Fedora distribution at home but am very satisfied with the Scientific Linux distribution here at work--I'm currently using SL7.2.

I have tried many Linux distributions before, and never looked back
after switching for Arch Linux. It is one of the best distributions with
regard to having an up to date but still reasonably stable system. Other
options are Fedora  Rawhide (there's a Fedora SIG mailing list) or
Debian Sid (as others mentioned, there's a Debian SIG mailing list), but
I don't know how dependable those versions are.

not clearly defined here, but I highly recommend Archlinux.
