AFNI Message Board

Dear AFNI users-

We are very pleased to announce that the new AFNI Message Board framework is up! Please join us at:

https://discuss.afni.nimh.nih.gov

Existing user accounts have been migrated, so returning users can login by requesting a password reset. New users can create accounts, as well, through a standard account creation process. Please note that these setup emails might initially go to spam folders (esp. for NIH users!), so please check those locations in the beginning.

The current Message Board discussion threads have been migrated to the new framework. The current Message Board will remain visible, but read-only, for a little while.

Sincerely, AFNI HQ

I suspect that Debian or Ubuntu would work well in any laboratory. In addition to easy installation and configurations, many people speak highly of the NeuroDebian repository that can be useful for simple installations of different packages.

I've had AFNI (and Freesurfer, etc) running on Debian, Ubuntu, and CentOS for quite some time. Hardware support is pretty decent across most distributions at this point. I think the advantage of Debian/Ubuntu is that you can upgrade between releases fairly seamlessly. In contrast, RedHat-based Distros have historically required more fiddling and a separate installer to upgrade. That said, I know plenty of laboratories still running CentOS 4 or CentOS 5 with updated versions of all neuroimaging software with no plans to upgrade.
