BSD Daemon
The BSD daemon, nicknamed Beastie, is the generic mascot of BSD operating systems. ==Overview== The BSD daemon is named after ''software daemons'', a class of long-running computer programs in Unix-like operating systems, which through a play on words takes the cartoon shape of a mythical demon. The BSD daemon's nickname ''Beastie'' is a slurred phonetic pronunciation of ''BSD''. Beastie customarily carries a trident to symbolize a software daemon's forking of processes. The FreeBSD web site has noted Evi Nemeth's 1988 remarks about cultural-historical daemons in the ''Unix System Administration Handbook'': "The ancient Greeks' concept of a 'personal daemon' was similar to the modern concept of a 'guardian angel' ...As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons."〔They cite this as p. 403 (''Unix System Administration Handbook'')〕
