The new Ubuntu Linux is based on a snapshot of the Debian unstable distribution, which they take and then add packages to. They time their desktop releases to coincide with the new releases of the Gnome, updating at six month intervals. What this means is that you get Debian packages that are no more than six months old on a system base that is quite stable -- and with over 13,000 packages to choose from they have pretty much everything you could imagine.
