Well, 'performance' maybe.  Not sure about the operating system part.

oh no.

I always thought this glow in the eyes of women when mentioning  
FreeBSD came from the operating system's performance.

Believe you me, performance has everything to do with it... and  
FreeBSD just performs better... :D

I think I must reconsider my position and admit there is a substantial 
difference between a logo and a mascot.

Them's fighting words - don't you realize an entire subgroup of the
FreeBSD developers spent untold amounts of time and effort setting up
a rigged contest to attempt to convince the userbase that there was
such a difference, in order to replace the logo with a round red sex
toy?

I think that is much less different than the difference between a toad and a 
frog.

There is so much history it would take you several days to read it all.
Just look for stuff on 'Beastie' or 'Bsd' or other variations of
spelling on it and also look for BSD daemon.There is stuff in
the list archive and on the FreeBSD web site and on various online
publications.   There are links to information and copyright information
on the FreeBSD web site.

There will also probably be loads of people replying to tell you
that it is not a devil but a character representing a daemon that
is a helpful sprite and that it is not a logo, but a mascot.

You can also buy stickers and plush toys, etc at bsd mall and
probably other places.

It's not a devil, it's a daemon, and there is plenty of history:

If by chance you feel that the daemon is contrary to your moral or 
religious beliefs, you could always take a look at "Jesux" (

Hello to all!
Just for curiosity, why the FreeBSD logo is a little devil? Is there a
