The web site for the Astro port Open Universe says it's no longer being developed, and suggests installing a program called Celestia. I'm interested to know whether a Celestia port is being contemplated at all, and if not, advice on installing Celestia on Linux-enabled FreeBSD 4.5-prerelease. (It would be a great favor if any such advice were in newbie form, please.) 2. Celestia mentions joystick support. The thought of cruising through the Universe, steering with my Logitech Wingman Force 3D USB joystick, does appeal. What I've read re support for USB joysticks essentially says "not right now - sometime in the future." Is there any slightly more specific information, or is "sometime in the future" pretty much where things remain?
