Does any distribution come with an original 2.6.x kernel?

I tried mandrake 10 but the 2.6.3 kernel it comes with is very different to the 2.6.3 source code you get from kernel.org.

I'd be interested to know whether any other distribution (fedora?) provides an unmodified 2.6.x kernel.

SuSE 9.1 will be released in early May with 2.6.x. It's supposedly going to be the first one commercially available with 2.6 as the default kernel.
