Change 'know about' to 'utilize'. I also think open source is two
words and operating system need not be capitalized. I'm sure somebody
here will correct me, but I think UNIX is an acronym for Unified
Network of Indexed eXchange thus capitalized.

I think Aqua is a specification and not software, but that doesn't
really matter in this context.
