There is of course Fedora. The latest is quite cutting edge, but you can choose when to upgrade to the next release. And there are security updates for older releases, so you don't have to immediately upgrade. Still, keeps you in the Red Hat universe.

This is exactly why I settled on Fedora after a few years on Arch, a few on Ubuntu/Debian/etc. Fedora is the best blend I've found. New releases about twice a year but you can skip a release if you want and upgrade every other release (or always stay on release n-1 which some people I know do).

Arch and Fedora follow the same conventions so everything on Fedora is where you expect it from Arch (this also makes much of the great Arch wiki applicable directly).

There will always be a soft spot in my heart for Arch, but Fedora is the perfect balance for me. I can't have my work machine getting broken and forcing me to read forums and mailing lists, etc.
