What really is fun is running code written yesterday.

Oddly if enough people run testing distros or build from git/svn/cvs the
results are better. There are enough people running kde from svn that it
works most of the time. I'm not sure which happened first; a stable
repository or large numbers of users. No matter.

I realize that having bleeding edge kernels and system libraries may be a
bit more exciting.
