Description
Hi,
On a Linux system, it's a little strange to have a program called "Linux agent"; from the point of view of a Linux user, it's an Azure agent. On a FreeBSD or other type of open source Unix-family guest operating system, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, and even the Microsoft FreeBSD-on-Azure documentation[1] refers to it as "Azure VM Guest Agent" in the text. Please consider renaming it. Thanks!

Research direction
The issue does not name any source files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing repository-wide uses of “Linux agent” and the linked FreeBSD documentation, then determine the scope and naming decision with maintainers; done would require an agreed name and consistent updates wherever the current name is exposed.
