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.
