+Azazel Linux
+============
+
+Azazel Linux is a mnemosyne-based Business Desktop distribution, using
+Xfce as Desktop Enviroment.
+
+About the name
+--------------
+
+Azazel is one of the chiefs of the Grigori ('watchers'), a group of
+fallen angels who mated with mortal women. Azazel taught men how to
+make weapons of war and women how to make and wear cosmetics. Azazel's
+teachings created such iniquity that God decided to destroy all life
+on Earth with Noah's Flood.
+
+I hope this distribution don't trigger a similar reaction.
