FreeBSD or Linux
Hello all!
I have been using FreeBSD for years, however, I have colleagues who prefer Linux. For some reason we can never meet eye to eye on what the advantage is from one system to the other.
My question is, can anyone explain what the differences are between both systems in respect to each other?

smdiag
SMDIAG(8) Linux Programmer's Manual SMDIAG(8)
NAME
smdiag - Linux soundcard packet radio modem driver diagnostics utility
SYNOPSIS
smdiag [-i device] [-d display] [ -ce ]
DESCRIPTION
smdiag may help to adjust the audio levels of the soundcard modem driver, as well as to control the quality of the radio link. It may
either display an oscilloscope like view of the input signal, or display an eye diagram. The display may be gated with DCD, i.e. only
updated if the modem detects a data carrier.
OPTIONS
smdiag accepts the following options:
-i The device argument specifies the soundcard modem device which should be configured or interrogated. It will usually have the fol-
lowing form: sm[0-3].
-d sets the address of the X server to display the window.
-h display an overview of the available command line parameters and exit.
-c toggle the carrier gating of the display.
-e display an eye diagram (overlay of the synchronized demodulator output) instead of an oscilloscope view of the input signal.
KEYS
C clears the window
D toggles the DCD gating.
E displays an eye diagram
I displays the input signal
Q quits smdiag
BUGS
smdiag Reacts sluggishly to keypresses. The window size is fixed. For speed reasons, two square root operations per sample are not imple-
mented in the AFSK 1200 baud modes. The eye diagram for the AFSK 1200 baud mode is therefore distorted.
