yes centos is not for desktop it's guaranteee, if you don't have much time and want a distro updated at last release, if you have much time to spend to recompile dependences i advice use slackware, is fast and desktop friendly, similar to swiss knife.
but if you have a server, probably best choice is centos.

As much as I like CentOS, I tend to agree with the other posts. I don't

it is the right distro for non techies.
Why?
I set up my in-laws with Linux Mint (running KDE, of course) and they
could
even handle installing the codecs and other non OSS stuff. Mint is a nice distro based on Ubuntu.
And force them to update the complete Distribution every other year?
