Re: building system with or without water for metadynamics

Tutorials tend to be aimed at being run with modest hardware
requirements. This is why water was likely excluded, as it greatly
reduces the atom count and lets the user see the evolution within the
simulation without a supercomputer getting involved. Do whatever is most
appropriate for your system.
