What are some other rolling release distros?

Arch and sidux are the 2 best rolling release distros that I've tried. If you want a little less "bleeding edge" than Arch and are a KDE fan, sidux is a must-try. The install from Live CD is very fast, and it has a very clean & technical vibe.
Debian Testing has several good derivatives: CrunchBang and AntiX, just to list my 2 favorites. Any one of them can be "upgraded" to Sid if you prefer "bleeding edge." You simply edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all instances of "testing" (or sometimes called "squeeze") to "unstable", then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". :)
Sabayon is another rolling release if you're looking for a "bells and whistles" distro with games, eye candy, widgets, etc.
I'm sure there are other good options I haven't had a chance to try yet. :)
