So I also can't just depend on something being installed that isn't installed by default. So I'll have to see if I can fallback to using xterm if gnome-terminal is not available.

UPDATE:
I'm testing some different approaches now to updating on linux to see if I can have a more robust approach. In the worst case, I can use command -v xterm to see if it's installed first before falling back to gnome-terminal.
The difference is that xterm should be an easy install on Ubuntu with X11 native . . . gnome, not being a graphics system but rather a desktop, isn't on some distros at all. (I can't say that I have used Ubuntu lately, but to date, professionally, have not found an X based system without xterm . . .) Options are good too . . . thanks!
