Hi Alex,<br><br>Creating a Virtual Appliance with a<br>pre-installed ITK is a great suggestion !!<br><br>---<br><br>Please find here <br>an ITK-ready Virtual Appliance:<br><br><a href="http://midas.kitware.com/item/view/450">http://midas.kitware.com/item/view/450</a><br>
<br><br>It has:<br><br>* Ubuntu 10.10 - 32 bits<br>* ITK 3.18 installed as a package<br>* CMake 2.8.2 installed as a package<br>* ITK v4 (Git cloned) source code (in ~/src)<br>* ITK v4 binary build (in ~/bin)<br>* ITK Software Guide PDF (in ~/Desktop)<br>

<br>
I have a suggestion.<br>
Nowadays virtuality is quite common in the computer world and<br>
many OSes (Linuces and Unices, at least ) come with native support for both hosts and guests.<br>
Just to mention Zen, VirtualBox, VMWare, etc (which is FOSS, BTW!)...<br>
<br>
In such virtual environment, guest efficiency as good as 95% and up.<br>
As a rule, host virtual software is multi-platform, so are guests.<br>
<br>
All what we need is to create a virtual machine distributable disk<br>
for beginners with ITK pre-installed and let them (beginners) use it.<br>
That virtual machine could be in any virtual format (*.vmdk, *.vdi, etc...)<br>
since the ImportExport software is always available elsewhere.<br>
<br>
Just to start, good candidates could be Linux-Debian with VirtualBox<br>
as a host OS plus Linux-Debian (or its derivative Ubuntu) as a guest OS.<br>
<br>
Both Debian and Ubuntu already have the pre-compiled<br>
ITK version in their repositories.<br>
<br>
In this way the beginners could immediately start using ITK<br>
without having such a painful headache with ITK installation.<br>
<br>
