Ask recruiter about other openings

I recently submitted an application to a company for a particular opening (software developer). I was promptly contacted by a recruiter at that company who is overseeing several openings. He set me up for an interview with one of their teams which is interested by my resume.

I had the interview with the team and it went well (they've scheduled me for a technical interview for later this week). However, I learned that the position they're interested in hiring me for isn't quite what I had originally applied for (Windows development instead of Linux).

I really like this company and will still mostly likely take the job if they offer it to me. However, I'm thinking of e-mailing the recruiter and asking him if there are any positions I could interview for which better suit my interests. The rub is I don't want to give him the idea that I'm shying away from the current opening.

What's the best way to phrase my question?
