Daemons are programs that sort of hang around in the background waiting 
for stuff to happen, like incoming telnet or ftp connections, or changes 
in the system preferences, stuff like that. When these things happen, the 
dameons do whatever they're supposed to do.

Demons are minions of Satan, residing in Hell, if you believe in that 
sort of thing.
