Try OpenBSD. No modules to worry about, no auto-anything, dmesg shows you everything you have and where it is. Simple. Only downsides: if you need a module for some piece of closed-source hardware; package management is quite as simple as with aptitude; no volume-management like LVM or easy software-raid; no flash-enabled browser. I agree that linux has become a cliky-pointy-lindows thingy unless you fight it. I don't do CUPS, I don't do DTE. I use lpr, CLI, startx, icewm. To mount a USB stick I have an entry in fstab for /dev/sdc1. If udev were to act up, I'd use LABLE=stick1: this is the fight-it part.
