how open is opensource?
 
is everything around the kernel ,such as redhats anaconda or mandrakes drakx, open source too? or just the kernel?

All of that programs you have listed are open source. Userland, aka everything outside the kernel, is or is not opensource depending on the progam installed/distribution used. Most, not all, distributions though ship completely open source by default, save Suse/YasT... oh, and those caldera people.

Yes all of that program you listed is opensource. Alot of distros are opensource although a few distros are not but you can get them for a low price...
