CentOS or Ubuntu for VPS as a beginner

[vstevenphan]

I want to learn about VPS and Linux. Which one should I start to learn and get familiar with CentOS or Ubuntu?
Thanks for your advice

Gonna be personal preference. Ubuntu probably is best imo

Pick ubuntu, tons of information on Google, it will be easy to get started as more in depth information is available and once you mastered it, move to others like a disease.

It's hard to find info about CentOS for me.

Yeah you will find ubuntu tutorials for nearly everything. Alternatively you can pick Centos with cpanel in it.

Cheers.

I would suggest CentOS. They are equally in terms of learning curve, but Centos being Red Hat member is easy to scale.
Keep in mind that, no matter which one you choose it is still linux. And, the skills you learn from one will translate to another.

Good luck! (let me know if you need linux/ubuntu video courses)

I prefer Ubuntu because of the deb packaging system. Most of the people chose between centos or ubuntu just because of their background (for example, if you started working as a sysop and the company servers where in centos, you might stick to centos forever, same for debian/ubuntu).

You can't go wrong on this choice.

ubuntu is a good option for beginners without doubts

Are you planning to install a control panel like Cpanel? That will help you to make your decision as not all control panels work on all systems

I do not not use paid control panel such as Cpanel. I used to use VestaCP

Both actually. Why would you miss out on one vs the other? Both of the flavours of Linux have tons of tutorials for getting started and also for becoming an advanced user. I would say, learn both side-by-side. See which one you like more, and then pick one.
