Debian 4.0 (Etch) will be released when it is ready. Currently Etch has 525 bugs, 93 of which are release critical. The reason I choose Debian over most other distributions (Especially Ubuntu) is because Debian has a strict release policy to ensure stability for server computers and deliver the awesome service that the "Stable" Debian releases have been known for as long as Debian's been out. Just because Etch isn't officially "released" it doesn't mean you can't use it. Just install Debian Testing from a testing iso which you can get from Debian's mainsite[0&1]. Etch is all in all pretty stable (I'm using it at the moment) but the packages are a wee bit outdated.
