+ As a system administrator, I support the efforts of a number of
+ researchers who use fMRI analysis software. I was overjoyed to find
+ the NeuroDebian repository, a one-stop shop for nearly every
+ software package the researchers use. The work of the NeuroDebian
+ Team greatly simplifies the task of providing our researchers the
+ best software available, and I consider the repository a vital part
+ of my professional life. As a maintainer on the MRIConvert
+ project, I find that NeuroDebian provides a valuable venue for
+ dissemination of our software. It would not be possible to reach
+ the same wide audience without the NeuroDebian repository.

+ Neurodebian is the best solution for researchers in neuroscience.
+ Everybody should have experienced wasting so much time in just setting
+ up software. With Neurodebian repository, you can easily setup many
+ useful software packages and focus on your research. I recommend this
+ repository to everyone who is interested in using Linux in
+ neuroscience.

+
+ We use NeuroDebian on a daily basis as it provides a stable and
+ versioned software base for analysis. This is critical as it allows us
+ to maintain data provenance, something that is often sorely lacking.
+ Our collaborators who don't quite have their heads around Linux yet
+ are pointed to the NeuroDebian Virtual Machine, it allows them to run
+ an identical analysis environment to us regardless of where they are
+ or operating system.

+
+ Developing informatics infrastructure often involves building
+ complex systems that require interaction between existing
+ components such as software and atlases. NeuroDebian makes it
+ trivial to manage the components of these systems, freeing me to
+ focus on the novel and important aspects of my work.

+ NITRC-CE, or the NITRC Computational Environment, on the Amazon
+ Marketplace wouldn't have happened as quickly and thus cost effectively
+ without leveraging NeuroDebian's good works. We appreciative their

VirtualBox, ran AFNI, and generated the files I needed, all within
about an hour and a half. [...] not bad, considering that I know
essentially no Linux/Unix. So here's a big "thanks!" :)

+ Neurodebian provides us with a consitent way of sotware packaging
+ and upgrades, eliminating tedious compiles and home-brew setups,
+ while seamlessly integrating with the Debian distribution. Excellent
+ and very valuable work, saving costs and difficult to spot
+ errors. High five Michael, Yaroslav and team! Keep them packages
+ coming!

+ Since I started using a NeuroDebian virtual machine on win64 months

+ population-specific template creation to pipelining the analysis of
+ fMRI, DTI and morphology studies. There is a great chance I will
+ end up working exclusively with NeuroDebian!
