I'm thinking of giving CentOS to a non-tech user for her new desktop. He needs are small. She has been used to Mozilla for both mail and browsing, so equivalents there are not a problem. She needs grip and lame, for her mp3s - again no problem. In fact the only problem I can see is that gwenview doesn't appear to have the kipi-plugins. I can see libkipi listed, but no plugins, and a pbone search didn't find it for me.
Why CentOS, as a matter of interest. I'm a great fan of CentOS for servers, but I would have thought Fedora would be more suitable for the purpose you are talking about.
No, not for her, I think. The long-term support and stability are more suited to her needs. She doesn't need the latest and greatest. FC6 did, for me, everything she needs and more, so as long as I can resolve the photo printing problem, CentOS is the logical answer.
