[OT] Astro Program

[Gilles Gravier]

KStars can be installed even without KDE desktop. It will trigger the 
installation of the necessary underlying KDE libs, but will work 
smoothly inside the GNOME desktop.

It *DOES* retain its KDE look, and in particular the configuration menus.

KStars will appear in your Applications->Education menu.

KStars doesn't use fancy resources, and I've run it on very slow machines...

If you have a 3D accelerator, Stellarium is very nice to look at as well.

Gilles.
