But you should also be prepared to help them with install and primary setup, like adding third party repositories for audio/video codecs and similar.
One of the most useful things I discovered was:-
yum install gstreamer*
which installs seemingly everything required to run the most popular audio and video applications in Gnome.
Most but not all. Windows users have only mp3 music, especially if they have illegal copies like >90% of people in South East Europe. For those you need non-free codecs.
If MP3 music 'works' (meaning it successfully plays on Centos/Gnome) why would additional codecs be required ?
I'm not very knowledgeable about codecs, which I assume are the audio equivalent of printer drivers. I understand "yum install gstreamer*" adds the legal and the 'bad' codecs which makes unplayable music playable in Centos/Gnome.
