Simply put, I'd imagine there are updates daily to the makeup of the distribution, updates to GTK or Cairo which need wider testing, but to beta test the distribution seems about as useful as testing a gnome live CD rather than actually seeing and contributing to the development of the distribution during the testing phase. Daily rebuilds and package updates should be made readily available via the internet to beta users.
What's wrong with http://en.opensuse.org/Factory_Distribution ? It should fulfill all your requirements. The Betas are simply snapshots of the Factory Distribution. You can install a Beta (unchanging, fixed source), then change your installation source to Factory. This will give you daily updates to the Beta relase in an incremental way and you can stay up-to-date regardless of when the next Beta is released. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/
