Red Hat used to have a distribution called "Red Hat Means Source" (RMS)
that was all free software. There's all the source distributions
(Gentoo, Sorcery, Sorcery GNU/Linux, more I'm forgetting) that have to
be primarily free software since you compile it all yourself. Finally,
I'm sure there's a lot more at http://lwn.net/Distributions/ - there's
more distributions than most peole think. :)
