colocation OS

For a colocated server (no physical access), is there any advantage in using a distro like Centos rather than Debian?

Thank you for your help.

well not really, people often preer to use a colo'd server of the distro they are more familiar with... any particular angle you were looking at here?

Eventually someone is going to have to access the server physically so you would want that person to be familar with your setup.

Thank you for your answers. I had no particular issue in mind, just the fact that centos is supposed to be more enterprise oriented.
If there is no obvious reason to choose centos over debian, that answer is fine.
