don’t know if there’s anything too it- but Linux supposedly has all kinds of demonic references in the code- some quite nasty from what I understand- Even the main word Daemon is supposedly a reference to demonism it’s claimed-

Don’t kill the messenger- just reporting what I read some time back

The term 'daemon' was coined by the programmers of MIT's Project MAC. They took the name from Maxwell's demon, an imaginary being from a thought experiment that constantly works in the background, sorting molecules.[2] Unix systems inherited this terminology. Maxwell's Demon is consistent with Greek mythology's interpretation of a daemon as a supernatural being working in the background, with no particular bias towards good or evil. However, BSD and some of its derivatives have adopted a Christian demon as their mascot rather than a Greek daemon

Many people equate the word "daemon" with the word "demon", implying some kind of satanic connection between UNIX and the underworld. This is an egregious misunderstanding. "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. As a rule, UNIX systems seem to be infested with both daemons and demons.

Being that Linux is open source, there is no hiding any demonic references in it.. You should download the kernel source code yourself and do a search on it. The uncompiled source is written in plain text.

I was only relaying what someone else has said- they mentioned, as did you, that bsd and some distros have adopted the devil mascot- and there are codes that reference 666 and some of the terms used for manipulating programs or whatever refer to ‘fingering the daemon’ etc- again- not my words- just what I’ve read on it- There is also of course the blatantly satanic editions of Linux-

There was also the obvious acronym of SATAN which stood for for System Administrator’s Tool for Scanning Networks -

I’ll see if I can find the article- but it was awhile back that I read it-
