Hi Graham,

Freesurfer works with Ubuntu with one small change that's documented on the Downloads page (symlinking a library file). I dont know if others have used Mint, but Debian works with freesurfer w/o mods as far as i know. Ubuntu seems to be the most common choice of freesurfer users gauged informally from list postings.

Hi all,

My "System Recommendations?" post of a few days ago got some useful and interesting input on hardware and software. For Linux flavor, Nick S. commented that Centos was the OS of choice at home base.

My question for today -- is Ubuntu, Mint or Debian equally satisfactory for Freesurfer and related software, both in terms of installation, and of use? Or are awkward obstacles encountered?

Thanks,

Graham
