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.
I still call this bullshit. CentOS is perfect for a Desktop which is used for Mail, Web and writing Office documents. Much better than all the distributions which you have to completely update every year or so.

Exactly - install, set and forget for the life of the hardware (well, 7 years). Nothing worse than having the distro force you into a perpetual upgrade cycle. Then if you *want* to upgrade to the latest version (eg, 4 to 5, or 5 to 6 when released), you can, and more importantly, you can do it when *you* want, not when the distro withdraws support.
CentOS is a great desktop distro :)
