Try Ubuntu. They have long term versions. You get the "bleeding-edge"
when that version is released. However, I don't believe that the long
term support versions keep all the packages on the "edge". It just
does not work that way. What long term support versions provides are
security fixes and bug fixes. No new features are added over time.
