It totally depends on your requirement and purpose of learning. If you need to learn web server concepts and other heavy testing on your machine to make it act as a server we recommend to go with a Minimal installation of centos. If you want to learn to gain knowlegde on Linux basics as well as GUI interface and other desktop utilities you must go for debian based. ( ubuntu is most preferred OS )
