    A daemon is simply any program that runs in the background, rather than under direct user control. Most services run as daemons, and the terms seem to be at least somewhat interchangeable. (At least, in Arch, there is a daemons array to specify startup services, whereas in Crux, for example, there is a directly analagous services array.)

    You can list all processes with ps aux.
    Daemon services often (but not always) end with a 'd'. So the SSH service daemon shows up on my system as /usr/sbin/sshd
