Rembrandt Leliveld wrote: Hello FreeBSD community! Hello, I have a strange question, I think. [snip] Can you tell me why FreeBSD choosed a devil as logo? This question is quite popular, unfortunately. It's based on misinterpreting the BSD Daemon as a demon. Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html quote from Unix System Administration Handbook (also in the link above): 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. Hope it clarifies a bit. Greetings from an upcoming FreeBSD fan Have fun!

Re: Strange question about the logo?...
Can you tell me why FreeBSD choosed a devil as logo? Don't listen to those lies about it being a daemon, they are just trying to trick you. It really is a demon/devil, and FreeBSD is forged in the depths of hell itself. In fact FreeBSD really stands for Free(Burning Soul Destruction). Isn't it suspicious that FreeBSD is so stable? Ever taken a close look at the kernel source? What do you think all those modulo 666 operations are for? Devil worship, thats what, downright devil worship! Don't worry about this, but exactly 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes after install, the system starts changing, you must type in a special mantra 6 times a day and commit at least one inhumane act and/or sacrifice per week, otherwise unstability ensues. A soul is a small price to pay for such ungodly stability and demonic operating speeds.

Re: Strange question about the logo?...
LOL. The tone of these threads has really changed :) Used to be outrage at asking the obvious, and was always good for at least 50 responses in the first few hours. I have to admit, I'm enjoying this new turn to sarcasm. L On 01/30/05 03:01 PM, cali sat at the `puter and typed: Can you tell me why FreeBSD choosed a devil as logo?
