Assuming I'm reading the package manifests correctly, dvd1.iso appears to have gnome (and its children, like evolution), kde (and its children), firefox, and webkit. The dvd is only 2.5gb and mainly comes with a whole bunch of libraries/languages/utilities, rather than full programs. I'd suggest he look at PC-BSD instead; it's a distribution of freebsd meant for desktops and workstations and includes a lot more of that stuff by default.
