Leaving Arch & Gentoo are there any Bleeding Edge / Rolling Release Distro ?

I tried Archbang, but after every successful install grub printed "file not found".

I want an easy to install distro.

What about LMDE (http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1944) and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed)? Also aptosid (http://aptosid.com/), Chakra (http://chakra-project.org/), fuduntu (http://www.fuduntu.org/), Sabayon (http://www.sabayon.org/)?

See this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release) for full list.

PS. PCLinuxOS is also partially rolling if I'm not mistaken.

Sabayon is fully featured, but is it bleeding edge? I haven't used it for a long time. Also, back when I used it, it wasn't a rolling release. Have they changed that?

Yeah Sabayon is a rolling release and usually pretty up to date.
I'm currently favouring OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my desktop, liking it a lot.

LMDE is not bleeding edge.

I am downloading aptosid. Thanks.

Sabayon can be compared to Debian testing in terms of being up to date. I too used it for a while.

Sabayon is a Linux distribution.
We aim to deliver the best user experience "out of the box" by providing the latest open source technologies in an elegant format.
In Sabayon everything should just work. We offer a bleeding edge operating system that is both stable and reliable

It is also a rolling release.

Thanks guys. I haven't used Sabayon since back when you had to compile everything. They were just talking about also having precompiled binaries. I loved Sabayon, except for how long it took to compile and install everything.

I've never heard about Aptosid before... What is the the advantage of running Aptosid compared to Debian Sid?

I've always thought that Sabayon was more bleeding edge than Debian testing, but I might be mistaken. (I'm not running Sabayon on any of my computers right now.) Debian testing isn't really "bleeding edge" or what? On the other hand Sabayon themselves claim to be "bleeding edge":
