1. Debian is horribly stable. I run numerous high-performance servers on the 'net on Debian Testing (not Stable), and haven't faced a single system or application crash yet. Hardware crashes are another matter altogether, of course. 2. Debian has a humongous package repository. CentOS is mostly limited (with exceptions like Dag) to the packages that RHEL provides. Installing non-standard packages on CentOS tends to become a PITA, while in Debian it's usually as simple as and aptitude install <package-name> On the other hand, CentOS has a major advantage: 1. All packages that have been certified on RHEL are automatically as good as certified on CentOS too. If you're planning to run some proprietary software (e.g. Oracle), then CentOS would definitely be better supported.
