1. ABOUT ITAKA:

Itaka is an on-demand screen capture server for Windows, Mac Os X and Linux. It is developed in Python, PyGTK and the Twisted Framework. It prominently features a polished easy to use interface, with a robust backend server.

Itaka needs to be installed as the root user.

Unpack and install the Itaka tarball using these commands:

Switch to the newly created directory and type 'make install' as root and the 
Makefile will copy the files to the correct location in your system. You do not 
need to configure or compile Itaka as it is written in interpreted Python code.

To uninstall, once again as root type 'make uninstall'

6. HACKING

If you intend to change Itaka source coude, please read the HACKING file.

Any questions should be emailed to me directly.

7. RELEASE NOTES:

This is the second release of Itaka. 

See ChangeLog for more detailed information.

Donations for this software would be greatly appreciated. This software is 
totally free, but sending a few dollars via PayPal would bring you good karma,
and it'll also mean you'll get extra Developer Suck-Up and support.
Plus, it will ensure that I have enough caffeine to develop new 
versions.

Please visit http://itaka.jardinpresente.com.ar to donate.

This program was developed under Ubuntu GNU/Linux and is released under the GPL license.
