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 :) ________________________________ From: Fred James <[email protected]> To: Tom Davies <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 7 September 2013, 18:32 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-users] Fedena 2.3.4 is Now Available Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > 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.

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?
