If you don't count third-party end user applications as part of the operating system (I sure don't), then most Linux distros are 100% open source. I'm most familiar with Slackware, and it certainly is. The only thing in it that isn't open source is Netscape and xv (and OpenMotif which is in contribs). Funny thing, Debian also has those. They may separate them out into a "non-free" directory, but they still get shipped on the CDs.
