Sure! Using the ubuntu server install, you can build a backuppc server, ready to backup clients, with nothing but the bare minimum software and services, in less than an hour. Maybe 10 total clicks/commands including the "apt-get install backuppc"
This server will have no extra services and will be more naturally secure because of it. With a centos/redhat/suse system you have more default services and software installed. They usually setup a more complete desktops which use up ram and disk space and typically have extra desktop related services. this is mainly personal preference but the less that runs on a server unneccissarily, the better. I have played with other systems and none are as easy as an ubuntu server setup.
