It depends on exactly what you are trying to learn.

CentOS is a very good Linux distribution. Linux is generally open source and support by a vast user community.

Solaris on the other hand is Unix, owned by Oracle and is a big boys operating system, commercially supported, and well capable of running a big financial institution such as a bank. You wouldn't run an operating system in a bank without full commercial support services (unless you are mad).

Learning Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and the like is certainly professional stuff which cannot do you any harm at all.

NAME

       sfxtest - test utility for the Linux AWE32 driver

SYNOPSIS

       sfxtest [command parameters] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the sfxtest command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be
       used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page.

       sfxtest is a program designed for testing that the Linux AWE32 driver has been set up properly, and that the appropriate  patch	files  are
       loaded correctly (using sfxload(1), or gusload(1)).

       The program takes a series of commands followed by arguments. It accepts the following commands:-

       X      Instructs the program to use channel control mode.

       x channel
	      Changes the channel being operated on to channel

       b bank Changes the bank being used to bank

       p program
	      Changes the program (instrument) being used to program

       n note velocity
	      Sends a noteon command for note note at velocity velocity

       k      Kills a note (sends noteoff).

       K note Kills the note note (used for channel mode).

       r value
	      Sets the pitch sense to value

       w value
	      Sets the putch wheel to value

       t      time Waits for time hundredths of a second.

       c value

       v note velocity
	      Changes the key pressure of note to velocity velocity

       D mode Sets the debug mode of the driver to mode

       C mode Sets the chorus type to mode

       R mode Sets the reverb type to mode

       F parameter value
	      Sends an effect command type parameter , with value value

       I      (Re-)Initializes the AWE32 driver and EMU8000 chip.
