Hi Lukas,

we've been using CENT OS4, with opterons. We can send you a complete recent sample configuration if you like.

Dear list members!

I wonder if anybody could recommend me hardware for a dedicated freesurfer PC. Any suggestion? Also, should I stick to Redhat 9 or is it worth to go for the new SUSE/Redhat distributions?

Many thanks for your help and best wishes,

Lukas

Lukas,

The newer machines that we use here at the NMR center for Linux have roughly this configuration:

http://www.verari.com/nemesys_1.asp

That is:

- dual 2.5GHz Opteron (AMD) processor - 8GB RAM - NVIDIA GeFORCE video card - 100GB hard disk

These are not requirements but rather 'recommendations'. A dual processor is especially nice to have as recon-all can run 24 hours and consume 100% of one CPU, thus the second processor is open to do your other work. Lots of RAM is nice as well, at least 1GB, preferably 2-4GB. Most any modern video card is fine, as they are typically built for gaming, whose requirements are much greater than FreeSurfer requires. Just make sure it has OpenGL support, and has the most recent drivers (NVidia has an auto-download and install tool for Linux). Disk space is important if you have lots of subjects (budget 250MB per subject, top end).

Lastly, we have been standardizing on CentOS4, and slowly upgrading our older rh7.3, rh9 and fc2 platforms, as these seem to be more difficult to maintain (we have well over 100 stations to maintain).
