[libreoffice-users] oops! Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-users] Fedena 2.3.4 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 :)

(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?
