0 Haru 291 Posted April 15, 2016 Both distributions are perfectly usable. The main differences is that CentOS carries very outdated software (or stable, as they call it). I personally find debian easier to use and manage, and more compatible with third party software (especially with modern software). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 hemagx 70 Posted April 15, 2016 Debian 8 would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Haru 291 Posted April 15, 2016 There is usually little to no reason to install an outdated version (unless your hardware isn't supported by the latest). This means that you should go for Debian 8 or CentOS 7. CentOS 6.x is a bad choice, because it comes with a version of gcc that we don't offer support for (it may work or may break at times), and you should upgrade it on your own.
