I'm not sure there are many completely objective reasons to choose one or the other. Things like release-cycle style and package layout come to mind. CentOS also has a different toolchain for some system management tasks like run-level management. Keep in mind that for everything you like about Debian, there maybe someone else who dislikes it. For example, some sysadmins would rather the Apache 2 package not create folders like sites-enabled/sites-disabled along with the associated tools.
It comes down to a matter of preference.
- quicksilver03 15y agoQuite right, I seriously dislike the scattered approach to configuration files of Debian packages and thus I stay clear of Debian and any derivative like Ubuntu. However the end result is the same, a properly configured a Debian box works just as well as a properly configured CentOS or Arch box.
- uggedal 15y agoThe scattered approach to configuration files is great when you automate your configuration with tools like Puppet or Chef.
