From the FreeBSD website: "`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. " I hope this helps, freebsd is really a great operating system and I hope you wont let religion or politics stop you from using it. -- R
