I installed Ssystem on my system, Dual PII350 256M RAM and quite enjoyed it. My
daughter thought it looked nice, but soon got tired of the realistic distances
and travel times. I'll try to get this for her system, P166 MMX 64M RAM and let
her comment on it herself. One thing I didn't try yet was to see how it looks on
my X-Terminal? With a 1M Trident card, sometimes the colours come out poorly,
though this is due to my system being set for a high resolution, therefore the
X-Terminal can only connect at the same resolution and drops the colour depth to
compensate. There is probably some way around this, but I'm still investigating
all the options of X.
