It's the first time I answer this question - so please may everybody correct me, if I got something wrong. 1) It isn't a devil but a small daemon, which refers to programs called daemons, which run invisibly in the background of your system and wait for a call by some kind of input. You can make them visible by typing the magic # ps -aux if you want to catch one, you do # ps -aux | grep moused if you want to kill him you type # kill number_in_the_second_column and your mouse will be dead. 2) The little red daemon's name is beastie, which is a quasihomophone to BSD . 3) On http://www.freebsdmall.com you can buy Tee-shirts, buttons, baseball caps, etc. with daemon motives. Hope that helps, Uli. +---------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | Wuppertal | | Germany | +---------------------------+
