The BSD Daemon is the mascot of the original Berkeley Software Distribution of the Unix operating system.[1][2] The name is derived from a common Unix application called a daemon, which is a program that runs solely in the background, typically with no human intervention (web servers such as Apache typically run as daemons). The BSD Daemon commonly carries a triton (also known as a pitchfork) as a play on the way Unix processes rely on the fork function to start other processes. | |
