I've been running debian testing for a long time, very solid, and I do 
updates almost daily.

My only problems are occassional X lockups and very rare config 
problems, usually do to my own changes, and usually correctable by 
"apt-get -f install" or other fiddling around. I have been updating 
kernels much less often, but at that point I do have to reinstall the 
nvidia drivers.

I also like Zenwalk, slackware based (runs very fast!), but they do 
recommend reinstall between new releases.

And I use Ubuntu on my old athlon 4 laptop and old 933mhz G4 ibook. 
Ubuntu does wireless well.

Both debian and ubuntu have great community.
