Lotsa people don't know lotsa things, don't they? :)
I use Debian Sid. If that's not rolling enough for anyone, add the
Debian Experimental repository to the collection. I did that for a few
years. (It's a great adventure, by the way!)
Rolling releases have their problems, too. Debian Sid switched to
systemd. Aptosid, a rolling release based on Debian Sid, still hasn't
decided if their kernel is going to support systemd or stick with init.
The result has been mixed; where straight Debian Sid shuts down my
Intel-based server with no problems, Aptosid either doesn't (on my Intel
laptop) or takes 5 minutes to shutdown (on my AMD-based server).
FWIW, Debian Jessie (aka Debian 8) came out yesterday.
