Its not a devil. The character is a question is a
daemon (not demon). A daemon describes a process,
like any other operating system. Windows users call
them programs and *nix users call them daemons. One
definition of daemon is a help (deity) neither good
nor evil. Why does he carry a pitch fork? Well that's
another Unix thing: "fork -- create a new process"
Feel free to read that man (manual) page for fork:
Why is it called a beastie? Say BSD really fast and
what sound does it make? Why is beastie wearing gym
shoes (chuck taylors)? Well I don't have an answer for
that one.
A very nice description exists on the FreeBSD web
site:
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html
If I have made any errors or omissions, please correct
me.
