I have always used Ubuntu for desktop linux and CentOS for servers. Have never tried CentOS as a desktop. Perhaps I should?

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. Perhaps it's available from a repo that I don't have? This is the tool of choice for me, for photo-printing.
I think I've covered the areas that she's interested in. Can anyone point out any other things I should consider?
Once I have the system set up as she needs I shall set up cron jobs to keep her up to date.
