If you are using Centos as a desktop, you'll probably want to upgrade to 6.0 at the first opportunity which should get you up to T-bird 3.1.x with a matching thunderbird-ligntening in EPEL. Still need the exchange connector, though.
We'll go up to 6, or, more likely, 6.1, but we've just got a couple of test machines running RHEL 6 and 6.1; upgrading to that will be a Big Deal
- there's some apps that are, let us be polite, seem to be pretty damn
fragile.... And most of our researchers and affiliates (or whatever the right name for the developers is) have CentOS workstations, though development's done on the servers.
There is always the magic of X for a remote window (native or ssh-tunneled) for when you want an application to appear on your desktop even though you don't run it locally or you need a different version from elsewhere. Shouldn't be that hard to make one RH box run an app for everyone.
I think you missed the point - they run CentOS on their workstations, and are X'ing to the servers. If their own workstation ain't showing, they don't see nuttin'.
