freesurfer works fine on Slackware too, v11.0 and v10.1, using Xeon chips.

Alex,

We use Centos 4 (both 32 and 64 bit) at the NMR Center, so freesurfer works best with it (in that most problems are easy to fix since we can recreate them easily). Others on the list has been successful with Debian, SuSE, Ubuntu, Fedora Core and others. But there have been some display issues with tksurfer with some of the very newest Linux releases, like Fedora Core 6.

We are about to install a few Linux workstations, primarily to run Freesurfer and MNISuite. Can I check on what the best Linux flavour is? Do you still recommend CentOS 4? thanks
