I know Solaris is OpenSource now too. So OSS is agian may not the right name. I was trying to think of a name that would imply 'freely available, but not Sun or Solaris original' and that would make it obvious what you might find there. People were saying they thought 'gnu' implied it would only be GNU/FSF software. So I tried to help with somtheing a little more general. I'll stop trying to help now. :) -Kyle
