What distro is most stable? (Debian-Based)

Returning to the original question, I'd suggest Mepis. That's an annual release. One year will be based on the latest version of Debian stable, the next year will be carefully updated with material from Debian testing. The last time I tried it, it was very good.

It's testing platform for debian

Not only that, it's also the distro of a company whose work is only about graphics, bells & whistles, and new ideas. They don't care about stability. Look how often they change Ubuntu's design! Every release there's something new and "innovative". And they only have 6 months to have the job done. "Stability" is not in their dictionary.

+1 for Mepis. Yes, it's based on Debian stable but if you use the community repository you get a lot of up-to-date packages from a great team!
