Personally, I only run CentOS on servers,
and I don't care whether an application is old or new, as long as it runs.
I've updated to CentOS-6, but to be honest
I haven't found anything that is improved from my limited viewpoint.

In my experience with Fedora, any change to KDE is likely to cause problems
somewhere, so I'd like any update to be put off as long as possible,
as I don't like playing with servers.

It isn't important, but I didn't understand your example.
Surely you must know if you have attached a USB disk,
and so can mount it at that point?
