Hi all,
I know there is good evidence to support analyzing and performing edits on the same version of freesurfer, and the same operating system. However, our systems are going to be updating to Scientific Linux 7, from Scientific Linux 6 in the coming weeks. We are planning to keep a legacy box (Linux 6) box for about a year to finish our current processing/edits. However, since many of our studies can take a while from processing to final analysis, and we may revisit datasets after a year or two, I was wondering if it is okay to finish all edits on a given version of Linux (6), and later run all analyses on a different version of Linux (7). Namely, we are interested to know how long we would need to keep the legacy box around, in case we want to revisit data for additional analyses (e.g. all edits/reprocessing would be done on one version, analyses on another).
Thanks!
