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. Nick > Dear all, > > I know you run Centos at the Martinos center.
