Debian is hands down the easiest distro in my mind to understand. The Debian Foundation is hard core with their methodologies and stuff doesn't whimsically make it into the repositories. (unlike PPAs which everyone and their brother seem to be able to setup.)
I guess I don't know what to tell you.
1) Install Debian.
2) Edit /etc/apt/sources.list so that you have unstable & testing.
3) Tell Debian that you want Unstable picked over Stable (or testing).
4) Update And Upgrade.
