   Honestly, anything should work for what you need above. Just try out some   
   LiveCDs of some of the popular distros that should work the best with CentOS   
   (Fedora, Ubuntu or even CentOS itself) before you decide on a permanent   
   solution.   
      
   I've used Thunderbird for email and NNTP for quite some time now. Haven't   
   really had a reason to look at any others as I've been happy with it. Chrome   
   and Skype will install on anything, and I have no idea what Slack is but if   
   it's a fairly popular program it'll most likely work on anything as well.   
      
   Also, most of the popular distros that have LiveCDs come with a choice of what   
   desktop or window manager you'd like to login to and/or install.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
