Re: [OT] Astro Program

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.

Can any friend here suggest me a good program that will run on Ubuntu
Feisty 7.04 and help children (meant for my nephew aged 8) in getting
perception about the solar system, universe and these things? And
something that is not vulgarly resource hungry (I have only 512 MB RAM
with Athlon 1800+ XP).
