[srip]

whcih linux has 4-5yrs support and stable.
i installed ubuntu8.04 did not do any system update,removed totem and added mplayer via synaptic.on reboot system became unusable.only desktopis showing no application tab at top and bottom.
will centos be a good choice for desktop?

I'd use Ubuntu for a desktop. It has far more drivers and application than CentOS. It comes with three years of support and maintenance on the desktop.

Stick with Ubuntu, or OpenSuse.
