There are alternatives. My favourites are: * Gthumb for photos. Does something I could never get F-Spot to do - automatically remove photos from the camera after downloading * Zim or Notecase for note taking. Both are lightweight and provide similar functionality. OT: I have a personal dislike of Mono due to it's MS heritage and the potential for patent traps. On my blog, I wrote a short article some time ago about how to remove mono from Ubuntu Hardy (http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2008/08/04/how-to-remove-mono-m-from-ubuntu-hardy-heron/). It was just me scratching a personal itch at the time. Amazingly, It rapidly became the most read and commented post I had ever made at that time and it still gets a good percentage of my daily hits. A subsequent post for Intrepid had a similar response.
