This may be heretical for this list, but there are other distros in the 
world.
I like PCLinuxOS, which is a rolling release, and is always up to date, 
if you
just remember to update it once a week or so.  And it's KDE, so it has
a reasonably familiar interface, unlike present-day Ubuntu.  (Altho there
are other desktops available for it.)
