I found tomboy notes to be useful since you can auto-hyperlink utility 
is very practical. If you use external pen to take handwritten notes 
there is xjournal, but not all of the hardware seem to be easy to set up.

I also found freemind (I use sciplore at work) to be useful for taking 
notes during a braindump session.

If you need to take notes with equations it might be worth learning a 
bit of LaTeX since it probably is quicker to type 
\frac{x^2}{y_2(c^3+v^{2x})} than looking up the menus and clicking with 
the mouse.
