As a non-hardcore linux guy, I find Debian a lot easier to maintain than CentOS

  It definitely is. The upgrade path between major versions is significantly easier which is where it really hurts. Also, despite the Debian packages being a little older, they always just work and have sensible patches and defaults applied.

    actually the major versions upgrade problem is fixed in Fedora, there are some "yum upgrade faq" which document how to do it: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum but I'd still prefer a rolling release like Archlinux does
