[3dem] Workstation

[Lu Gan]

Hi Reza,

This question was recently addressed on the IMOD mailing list, so I'll
summarize what I think is a representative answer.

Linux: Ubuntu, Mint, CentOS
Hardware: Dell (can be expensive), local builders (like ZaReaslon? with
better customization)

If you're going to use IMOD and want to take advantage of GPU acceleration,
then you'll need an NVIDIA card (David Mastronarde recommended 700 series;
skip the 600s) and CUDA drivers.
