System Requirements</A>

<P>
FreeCol is written in Java. In order to run, it requires a Java
Virtual Machine. In theory, FreeCol should run on any platform on
which a Java Virtual Machine compatible with Sun Java 5 or higher is
available. In practice, however, things are less clear cut.
<P>
FreeCol is known to work with Sun's Java 5 and 6 (which you can get
<A HREF="http://java.sun.com/">here</A>. FreeCol also works with OpenJDK,
although some problems and graphics glitches remain. FreeCol is known
to run on recent versions of Windows and Linux, and on MacOSX to some
extent. If you are using Linux, using Java 6 is recommended, as its
font rendering is much better. If you are using FreeCol on a different
platform, we would like to hear about it.
<P>
FreeCol requires at least 128 MB memory and works best with a screen
resolution of at least 1024x768 pixels. You can still use the game
with a smaller screen, but some dialogs will not be completely
displayed.
