Hi :)
Fred has been looking into it a bit more but we still haven't worked out if it
really is bad. It's still looking like a good product but it is more
comparable with these;
http://open-school.org/
http://akuraschools.org/
http://centresis.org/
I
think Moodle is something a bit different, a Course Management System
that might be part of one of the Suites or might replace hefty chunks
of it.
https://moodle.org/
I think Moodle has another OpenSource competitor too but i can't quite remember
that far back and only vaguely remembered moodle because it's fun to say. It
turns out my old 6th Form College is one of the places now using Moodle.
Regards from
Tom :)

is Now Available
Hi :)
Fedena is apparently not free and it's not a distro! I'm not sure why i
thought it was!
It is a Management Information System, for schools, so it's more like a suite
of modules inside a program or a suite of programs. There is an Open Source
core of programs/modules but then you would probably find you need some of the
Premium programs/modules.
Signing up for their demo seems to involve a lot of details i might consider
phishing so i would NOT go for it without exploring it in more detail.
Apols and regards from
Tom :)

I would not normally have redirected
this one from the moderators filtering. Normally i would have let it go
straight through to the spam dump.
It is just another distro, like Ubuntu, SuSE, Redhat, Fedora, Mageia and
the rest. The main twist in this ones case is that it focusses on schools
and includes good tools to help people manage educational establishments as
well as having useful and interesting things for school-kids. Unlike
Edubuntu this one appears to have started in India although it also seems to
be available in English.
Note that i don't think this has anything to do with the One Laptop Per Child
project

So, if you like distro hopping then you might like to have a play around
with 1 or other distro. If you
haven't done any distro hopping before then i tend to prefer setting up a
spare new partition rather than using a Virtual Machine. Other people swear by
VMs [shrugs]. Either way has advantages.

(omissions for brevity)
Are you sure Fedena is a Linux distro ... I visited their site and they
look like if you have a browser, you can use their product on their
computers (cloud, they said), for a
fee?
