M11 uses KDE 4.5.3. I have no problem using Plasma 5, just was hoping to 
get an up-to-date native KDE that I didn't have to beat into submission. 
There was a time when I enjoyed fiddling and farting with my OS; with 
Mepis, I didn't have to, as Warren set things up darn near exactly like 
I would have if I'd had the chops.
