I have moved from Opensuse 9 to 10 to 11 and 11.1 and then to Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and will move to 10.10 when it comes out. This is to me is a lot of work that i would like to avoid. That was the logic and reasoning for the post. And I was looking at advice to install Arch, though the documentation is quite detailed, it needs a live internet connection that I dont have (See my other post about Sify, I need to login thru a browser). That is the only reason I backed out of Arch. Otherwise I like its philosophy of simple and elegant code and little cruft. I also considered Sabayon and Sidux, as also AntiX, but decided to wait out, before taking the plunge. I will install a rolling release for sure, when i am a little more experienced with both command line and trouble shooting. I read the Mint Debian Edition blog today and loved it, as it is a Rolling release. However i too will wait till 64bit comes out and the project matured a bit more. And Linux Mint is not moving to debian as base, but merely releasing another edition based on Debian. I can install a few more distros on my system as i have free partitions available for them, but i am not just because they involve a big download. But surely I am a Rolling Release guy who is using Ubuntu till he is more comfortable with Linux in general. I am also a frugal guy who believes an OS should not use up a huge amount of HD space. So something that fits in 4-5 GB max is what i will install.
