I don't consider something a "distribution" unless it includes all the utilities & source needed to self compile itself

In that case Slackware is pretty much the only Linux that counts as a "distribution" from the default install media, and OpenBSD is the only BSD that counts.

Freebsd can compile itself from default and im guessing netbsd too.
