I don't know the term I'm looking for.  What term would you apply to
the collection of software that includes OpenOffice.org, Firefox,
gimp, gedit, VirtualBoxOSE, $(apt-cache search . | cut -d' ' -f1 )?
They are in the Ubuntu repositories.  They run on Ubuntu without
needing Wine.  They are OpenSource.  Pick a term that encapsulates
those qualities and probably several others that I haven't mentioned,
and that's the term I'm looking for.  Until someone thinks long and
hard to come up with the perfect term, let's defer the ontological
philosophizing and call that elusive term "Linux native."  Whadayasay,
eh?  :)
