Sorry for adding to the confusion, but I wanted to point out that zim<br>
is also a very nice note-taking application.<br>

Others can feel free to chime in with their thoughts, but here is a
rundown on some of the different options for note applications:<br>
<br>
== Xfce4-notes-plugin:<br>
+ After ~20 min of use uses 4mb of writeable memory<br>
+ Can be set to sit in the panel<br>
+ Easy to add notes and change between notes <br>
- Can't create notebooks (sets of notes around a topic)<br>
- Can't search notes<br>
- Can't link between notes<br>
<br>
== Gnote<br>
~ After ~20 minutes of use, uses about 6.5 mb of writeable memory<br>
~ Can sit in the notification area . . . not sure how it can be set to
go there all the time, or if the user would need to launch it each time<br>
+ Easy to add notes and change between notes<br>
+ Can create notebooks, search between notes<br>
+ Easy to link between notes, output to HTML, <br>
+ Can import tomboy notes<br>
+ several other plugins <br>
<br>
== Zim<br>
- Confusing start up UI<br>
- Uses 9.2mb of writeable memory on startup<br>
+ Seems pretty powerful if you are familiar with how to use it.<br>
+ The Sheep likes it<br>
+-x2 - I didn't really spend much time using it after the somewhat
confusing UI at startup.<br>
<br>
This is a note taking application. It will not make users switch from
Windows. But Gnote has pretty much all the features of Tomboy (just a
few releases behind), and can provide good note-taking functionality
with a minimal memory penalty compared to xfce4-notes-plugin.<br>
<br>

For comparison,<br>

how much writeable memory would Tomboy use after ~20 minutes of use?<div class="im"><br>
