Hi,
If you can afford an extra computer for the data analysis, you could set
it up for running FSL on e.g. CentOS. You could connect to this computer
via an ssh connection. If your Windows computer runs Xming
(www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) you even would have all GUIs on
your Windows Desktop (using the -X option for ssh). In addition you
could connect your Windows PC to the hard disk of the Linux computer via
Samba and hence directly work on the files with your Windows PC.
Another option to run Windows and Linux on the same system is with
VirtualBox. You can easily configure it that way, that the Virtual OS
has access to the same directories as the Host and hence work on the
same data simultaneously with Windows and Linux.
However, I would also recommend to do all your work within a Linux
environment, it makes your live much easier, especially if you want to
use FSL, C-code, and Matlab. Linux allows scripting in a way where you
can execute within a single BASH script FSL functions, Matlab code and
whatever else you want. Once you got used to this you might never want
to go back to Windows.
Good luck anyway,
wolf
