Indeed, seems that people start new distributions without any sane release 
process in mind. Many people that make their distro obsolete after one year or 
so (and thus harm users like you), piss off Microsoft's for releasing service 
packs and maintaining backward compatibility... ;)

What's left?
At least Fedora provides good updates, not to mention SUSE - I've just updated 
"download" section for Fedora. The two distros are company-based, that's maybe 
an important factor.

In the same time (checked today), Mandriva is dead for us - offers Kexi 1.0 beta.

Thanks for your interest.
