I know a lot of people out there like to take notes with Linux, and probably didn’t come across this program yet, as it look me a bit googling to find it again. The program is called KeepNote, and is a fantastic program for taking notes. I use it with Dropbox, and store all of my notes there and that way it is synchronized to all of my systems. The program itself is open source and free, and you can support it by making a donation on the homepage.
I really like KeepNote, and the ease at which I can drag and drop media to it. One thing I did set in preferences was to only autosave every few minutes, otherwise Dropbox is constantly being updated:
The top toolbar is well thought out and very intuitive for formatting. It also supports all of the standard keyboard shortcuts, such as CTRL-B for bold etc. If you are looking to try it out, the author has a .deb package on the homepage that installs no problem (Ubuntu Jaunty AMD64 here).

I’d be interested to know if this is better/worse (subjectively) than Tomboy or Gnote (presumably worse, since you’re not using them?). Or if it’s mono-based. A lot of discussion on ubuntuforums at the moment revolves around removing tomboy for gnote, but apparently gnote is just a non-mono port of Tomboy and is feature lacking. If Tomboy goes, that just leaves F-Spot (and possibly Banshee if it makes it in), then there’s a fair bit of space saved on the CD by removing mono. Assuming that the various replacements aren’t bloated.

Never heard of KeepNote, but it looks quite good. Maybe I will give it a try later. Currently I am using zim (http://zim-wiki.org/) which seems to be very similar.

@Scaine – Its all PyGTK, no mono in this. For some reason I don’t even compare this to Tomboy as Tomboy is for quick notes, whereas this “feels” more like in-depth, organized notes for some reason.

I like CherryTree, Written by Giuseppe Penone.
features :
* rich text (foreground color, background color, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, small, h1 and h2)
* syntax highlighting (only when the rich text is disabled in the current node)
* images handling: insertion in the text, edit (resize/rotate), save as png file
* lists handling (bulleted and numbered and switch between them, multiline with shift+enter)
* simple tables handling (cells with plain text)
* alignment of text, images and tables (left/center/right)
* hyperlinks (links to webpages, links to nodes/nodes + anchors, links to files)
* node print & node save as pdf.PS and SVG file
* find a node, find in current node, find in all nodes
* replace in node names, replace in current node, replace in all nodes
* iteration of the latest find, iteration of the latest replace, iteration of the latest applied text formatting
* import from notecase, keepnote, tuxcards, basket, cherrytree

This is a wonderful Linux note taking program, Keepnote. I really liked it. This application offers a good space to perform office automation to its best. I see that search also occurs pretty fast. I think this application also suits project management.
Being so user friendly, open source format and compatible with windows and Mac are some of the features I liked in it.

Keepnote is really good. But there are lots of others in Linux too.
