For a workstation machine I prefer Ubuntu rather than Centos. There are available drivers for graphic cards in Ubuntu that make the experience with graphic tools (eg. tksurfer) much better than it is with Centos. In addition, by default every developer tool (eg. the GNU compilers, debugger and libraries) have a later version in Ubuntu 13.04 than in latest Centos distributions.

P.S. I also love the Ubuntu unity interface :-)

Dear all,
I know you run Centos at the Martinos center. Are there any known issues or concerns that differentiate between running Freesurfer on Centos or Ubuntu? Reasons to prefer one or the other?
Thanks for your help, Katie Surrence
