OneNote alternative

[cdahmedeh]

Hello,

I'm looking for a simple program that has similar functionality to OneNote. Basically that means :
-Organising with Tabs and lists
-Tablet Support for drawing
-Basic Image pasting support
-Freeform format (I can write text anywhere)

Also, it would be nice if it looked like other GTK applications. I don't like it when Qt3 or KDE applications run on my GNOME desktop, it looks really ugly and strange.

Thanks

basket 2.9, its a qt app, but should blend right in. tablet support can be done in jarnal.

I use basket when I really don't want to reboot. However, there's really nothing that compares to Onenote that I've found. As is, one note is just about the only reason I have a Windows partition.

On Ubuntu, I use Evernote on Web and on Windows running on Virtualbox.

It does? Isn't the GUI messed up and doesn't it run slow? It was like that the last time I tried it.

Evernote works *OK* for me in Wine. The buttons are black boxes though unless I mouse over them.

The OP clearly states features Tomboy does not have.

Open Office will soon offer its own version of OneNote - but its slated to appear in 2010.

Evernote runs under WINE.

[cdahmedeh]

One more thing, it needs to run natively in Linux. I don't like using Wine.

That gives me something to look forward to.

It integrates well into Linux and you can't tell its a Windows application. The reality is some Windows programs will never make it into Linux. That's why WINE exists for them.

Nor will a lot of Windows drivers, which is why ReactOS Exists (as WINE doesn't handle Windows Drivers, and is not their goal.)

Where did you here this, link please.

Supporting basket here. It's not One Note but it's very helpful and stable. I use gnome, so I didn't have the dialog for selection of KDE's default application handlers. So for links, I had to set my default browser by doing the following:

edit ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

Add 'BrowserApplication[$e]=!firefox-3.5' under [General], creating [General] if it doesn't exist and replacing firefox-3.5 with your browser of choice.
