Yesterday I mentioned that I needed to install MH or NMH on my home OpenSolaris virtual machine. I took at look at the Sunfreeware site and discovered NMH is part of the Sun Companion CD Project. I grabbed the Solaris package from there and installed it with pkgadd. Nice and quick, works great.

Last night I finally threw the switch and migrated my main virtual machine at home from Solaris Express snv_79 to OpenSolaris. Well, actually, I finally had the new OpenSolaris virtual machine ready and the data migrated so I could power off the Solaris Express virtual machine.
I still have a few missing pieces left to deal with. First, I need to get tkbiff installed. I also need MH or NMH. I've used MH and later NMH on and off for many years. It provides command line tools to scan folders, send mail, sort mail, burst digests, and more. Now I use Gnus within XEmacs, but I'm on one mailing list that only comes in digest form, and I used the MH burst command to break the digests apart into single e-mail messages. I also occasionally use the MH scan command to quickly scan a folder for an item of interest, particularly if I don't have XEmacs running. It's much quicker to run scan than to start XEmacs and then Gnus within XEmacs.
The other item of interest is that I'm finally migrating away from fvwm2 with fvwm-themes to GNOME. I started using GNOME a few months ago when Sun gave me a laptop and told me to run OpenSolaris. I've grown to like it well enough, though I miss a few of fvwm's capabilities. But now my work and home environments will be more similar, and that's more efficient for me. I've gotten more used to the GNOME mouse clicks and have found they just don't work with my FVWM setup! :)
