Terms,

I don't think any of these terms work.

Open Source - People know what that might be.
Floss - Thats what you use to shave right@
OSS = Open Source Software except its not just software.....
Free = Is that Free as in £0.00 or Free as in Freedom.
Unix = As in not Dos? But thats a technical term
Non-Windows - But we use X-Windows Its a terrible term. And we have nothing
against Windows really so long as people use the right tool for the right
job.

The list continues.
