you can use the centos4 build with centos5.6. its what we use in our center (the centos4 freesurfer build on our centos5.6 platforms).
the centos5 build of freesurfer is not publicly distribution (that is, not listed on the download page) because the centos4 build works fine with centos4, and there is no point in having the centos5 build. you can use the centos5 freesurfer build if you want (and mix with centos4).

I have a few questions related to Freesursfer versions and Linux CentOS versions.
We have we processed some data (i.e. generated surfaces using -autorecon 1 -autorecon2, and then GM and WM surface-based volumes using mris_anatomical_stats and mris_wm_volume, respectively), using the build 'freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0' on our linux server that was running CentOS 4.
We have recently upgraded the server OS to CentOS 5.6. We now would like to modify the segmentations/surfaces and was wondering whether we can use the same build (freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0) on CentOS5.6 or do we need to install 'freesurfer-Linux-centos5_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0' ?
Are there any issues with processing data using 'freesurfer-Linux-centos4_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0' on CentOs4 then modifying this data with 'freesurfer-Linux-centos5_x86_64-stable-pub-v5.0.0 on CentOs5
Comments?
