The distro of your choice from the small pool that you are given to choose from.
It's not a completely unrestricted choice.
That pool includes Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora and a few others if I remember correctly, although it may have expanded since.
I'm not sure how straightforward rolling your own is.
