It helps to think of the way that the FSF and Linux define 
themselves.  Linux (according to Linus) is the kernel.  The rest
is free software, mostly.  

What I do generally is install a basic Debian system, then add X 
from ftp.x.org, and everything else from their respective sites.
If your testing is that critical, you might consider defining
a baseline distribution of your own.  I don't see Linux as 
being as well packaged as Solaris, my other OS, though, or maybe
that means it's more flexible.  

Then of course, the GNU project is developing Hurd, which is 
a completely different kernel architecture than Linux.  So while
it may not be "Linux" there will certainly be enough free source
code to insure continuity, I think.
