locked down, customized version of Linux.  I would be surprised if it had <br>
enough libraries and tools to make a workable filePro install.<br>
<br>
Untested, but *if* your Synology is powerful enough, and the model supports it,<br>
you can install Virtual Machine Manager from Synology package store.  Once<br>
you get that running, you can install a Linux Virtual Machine, just about<br>
any distro, and run filePro within that.  Consider the CPU and Memory (the<br>
latter of which is usually upgradable) that came with your model before<br>
jumping down this route though, as the home/smb models are pretty light on<br>
the specs.<br>
