“Note-taking applications are far from scarce on GNU/Linux
desktops. If your needs are simple, you can use KNotes in KDE or
Sticky Notes in GNOME. If you want integration with address books
and email, you may prefer Evolution’s built-in Memos pane. For
those who need more than basic notes, the increasingly
sophisticated Tomboy may be a solution, assuming they have no
objection to running an application built using Mono. However, by
far the most versatile note-taking application is KDE’s Basket, a
tool so flexible and complete that you might prefer to think of it
as a personal wiki, a producer of scrapbooks, or even a creator of
temporary desktops. The future of Basket as a project is uncertain
at the moment, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t take advantage
of its power.“As the name suggests, Basket has taken the concept of the note
and expanded it into a temporary container for information of all
sorts, including text, links, images, and application
launchers…”
