[NTLUG:Discuss] Whats the most Vanilla Linux Distro...if there is such a thing

[NTLUG]

I am looking for suggestions on a linux distro that isn't "tainted" by
the people making it.

When I say tainted...with RedHat, they tinker with everything so in many
cases if you get something on the internet, you are going to run into
some problems installing it.  I would like to find a distro that doesn't
have that kinda of problem.

Thanks...
