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.
Consider more than 1 GB. Memory for desktop computers is relatively cheap. I would think the barest minimum at 2 GB and more likely 4GB. There have been several postings on using Ubuntu, but I'm not sure where that stands now. We typically use Fedora/RedHat versions of linux here.
