If you want rolling-release, use openSUSE-factory[1], i.e. the development branch (though this might sometimes break on you). If you want an inbetween thing between rolling release and standard, use Tumbleweed[2], which is curated by Greg K-H and brings you new versions of important software, i.e. KDE/Gnome, kernel, git, vim/emacs etc. Tumbleweed uses a set of repositories called *-current, which are always symlinked to the current version. As of today, my next update will bring me onto 13.1 standard for all packages, while Tumbleweed will be emptied soon. In a little while, Tumbleweed will be populated again with updates newer than the 13.1 version, as they appear. This cycle continues until 13.2 is released, and then starts anew.
