Hi
I am using recon-all in some longitudinal data on a ubuntu 16.04, and using the development version of freesurfer as I was told here, because the other current version doesnt work on ubuntu 16.04.
The problem is that the first scans were probablly processed using virtualbox in a windows and an older version of freesurfer.
i think I already know the answer, that I can't do this if I dont want to bias my results. Can I?
But I'm using a better computer now and I use the one with windows for other analyses, so I wanted to know if I could install Virtual box on my ubuntu 16.04 computer, and install the same version of linux used to process the first measure. Should I also need to use the same version of freesurfer?
f the computer's specs are dfferent, does it matter? And if I assign different cpu and ram on my virtual machine?
Thank you!
