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
Katie,
The next release, v5.3 (hopefully next week), will fix a problem with running on Ubuntu 13, but freesurfer works on Ubuntu 12 as well (with one modification described on our download page).
So there are no reasons not to pick Ubuntu other than who will maintain it. If its just one machine, Ubuntu is easy to install. For administrators, from what i understand, CenttOS is easier to admin. Either is fine for freesurfer.

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