Our lab bought a new server which allows only one network protocol at a time. We can not mount it to both Windows machine and Linux machine at the same time. Right now we can access the server using Windows machine.
The software we are using for fMRI data analysis is AFNI, which works the best on a Linux environment. To get it work with Windows, I found this tutorial document online. If you follow the document exactly, you can have AFNI running on Windows.
There is one problem though. If you run AFNI following the tutorial document, you will not be able to move the AFNI Window around. That's very annoying (test it by yourself and you will know what I mean here).
The solution is very simple: on page 8 of the document, you will see "typing 'startx'- use the standard X Window system ". Do not do that. Type startxwin instead. You will see the difference.
One more thing, on the AFNI download page, it says the afni for cynwin is "not recommended". My colleague Ben Austin contacted the AFNI people asking why is that. Here is the response from afni

As far as I can tell, the cygwin version of AFNI does not include any of the plug-ins, 3dSkullStrip and the SUMA software (because of problems with OpenGL support). Also I vaguely remember it uses the LessTif library, and menu items in the AFNI GUI sometimes have strange behavior.

选强制继续，结果重启，然后再次停在了同样的地方。此路不通。 那就登录root吧。幸亏我还记得root的密码，可是进去之后干什么呢？于是开始google。很多人说要做fsck，就是File system check。我用fdisk命令查看所有的分区，并且把所有的分区做了check。检查结果说各个分区都没有问题，可是我就是进不去系统。
仔细读了不知多少遍出错信息，都说是fsck.ext3 /dev/sdc3 failed, could not find the device... 意思就是说着不到/dev/sdc3这个设备。我就纳闷儿啊，是啊，我也找不到啊，这个/dev/sdc3到底跑到哪里去了？再说，这机器只有两块硬盘，分被是/dev/sda 和 /dev/sdb。 这个/dev/sdc是啥子啊？ 于是我google啊，我找啊，折腾了啊...一直就折腾到了天黑...
