Actually, Red Hat has what's roughly the RPM equivalent of a CVS "tip", a
distro called Raw Hide. It's pretty bleeding edge for Red Hat (though you
won't find a whole lot of packages of beta-stage stuff unless the package
contents are really close to release-stage).

ftp://ftp.RedHat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ and a mirror at iBiblio.org .

There's supposedly a Mandrake counterpart called "the Cooker" (thanks to
Michael Hirsch for that tip).
