I have used both CentOS is very similar to Red Hat Enterprise and Ubuntu is based off of Debian.

I enjoy working with Ubuntu a bit more than working with CentOS. In the end it comes down to personal preference. One of the main reasons I enjoy ubuntu better is because out of the box it comes with APT (Advanced Packaging Tool) library to perform installation and manage software. Where CentOS uses YUM.

Both APT and YUM are great and pretty much do the same thing, but this is where it comes down to preference.

I would rather type something like this to install mysql
Code:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Rather than typing this to install mysql
Code:
sudo yum install mysql-server
They look almost the same and do essentially the same thing but I prefer APT.

Its also worth noting that you can install APT on CentOS.
