Hello freesurfer gurus, I noticed on the wiki that they recommend using tcsh when running freesurfer, although they say other shells can be used. Is there a significant advantage to using tcsh when running freesurfer? If I would rather use bash is there any significant reason not to?
You can use 'bash' as your conventional shell without any ill-effect FreeSurfer-wise. I myself use bash and not tcsh. Remember, of course, to just source the bash-script equivalent setup scripts (i.e. SetUpFreeSurfer.sh)...
