Yep keep the daemon and I like the "motion" daemon. Possible ideas are
daemon speeding along a net or daemon totally failing to be restrained
by a net. Then we get the "net" in and of course the daemon already
means BSD. I don't know if you could get the idea across without it
being too fussy though. I am no artist.

Multi-platform OS could be an optional part of the logo. Or if you like to
think of it that way, two logos with and without the extra words.
