In the Unix System Administration Handbook, Evi Nemeth has this to say about daemons:
"Many people equate the word ``daemon'' with the word ``demon,'' implying some kind of Satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. ``Daemon'' is actually a much older form of ``demon''; daemons have no particular bias towards good or evil, but rather serve to help define a person's character or personality. The ancient Greeks' concept of a ``personal daemon'' was similar to the modern concept of a ``guardian angel'' --- ``eudaemonia'' is the state of being helped or protected by a kindly spirit. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons." (p403)
Из-за каких-то уродов...
"Historically, the FreeBSD Project have used a characterized daemon as
a mascot, and displayed it on our web site with the text "FreeBSD" as
our logo. This character sometimes treated with misinterpreted in the
religious and cultural context.
And this daemon character seems cute from somebody's point of view,
but somebody may think which does not suit for the professional
products to indicate that are using the FreeBSD inside.
So, we decide to call for a new logo design which is identifiable as
the Project's logo, can be used on the professional products, and is
very cool :-)"
Теперь изменят логотип. Остается надеятся что БСД Демон не умрет окончательно а новый логотип будет достаточно хорошь.
Мы всегда будем помнить о BSD Daemon!
