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

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.

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
* export a node and its children to cherrytree file
You can view more and download at http://www.giuspen.com/cherrytree/
Yo can download a souce code, deb package and archlinux package or windows bynari.

for my part I use Treeline , it seems same like keepnote , but have some features like to define model for your node and note , imagine you ll d like keep some quotes ,it s easier if you have define a model for it like a table with the name of the book , the page , the author , the context , etc ….

@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.

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.

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.
