I think you're talking about a Torx, they may call it a star driver.
A hex head can be either a machine or sheet metal type screw which will look
like a bolt, or an Allen head which has the hex on the inside of the circle.
You can also look for what is called a Robertson which is the square drive. I
still think better than the Phillips.
Now that you are confused worse than before...
