Thanks for the info, Gour.
Often with hardcore Linux tools, I hear how great they are, and how easy
they are, but when I try to use them, they're far from easy-to-use or
intuitive *for me* (e.g. when I tried emacs), or they throw up errors or end
up being very complex *for me *(e.g. checkinstall, where I tried installing
dependency after dependency, guided by a Linux geek who was showing me how
easy it was, haha ... I confess I've never successfully installed anything
from source on my own using either make or checkinstall... but I'll soon
have be using a Debian-based distro, and the Debian repositories will meet
my needs 99% of the time.)
I'll get a demo of emacs, but it's probably not for me.
Thanks also Christoph & KDulcimer for the recommendations. I tried notecase
and had a look at screenshots for the others... Some of them look like good
alternatives to BasKet, for those happy with something a little simpler.
None have the BasKet feature (also in MS OneNote, I'm told) of separate
boxes for your notes, which can be moved around within the page, color-coded
or marked in various ways. Very useful for me. It also handles different
kinds of content - e.g. see http://basket.kde.org/screenshots.php
I thought development had stopped on BasKet, but I see there's a version 2.0
Beta now. So I'll try out Gjots2, CherryTree and Osmo, as well as the new
BasKet. I suspect it will be a trade-off - I might choose to put up with the
huge KDE dependencies to have the BasKet features that I want, but one of
the other packages might be a good choice for other users.
One feature I'm hoping to find is that the rich text in the notes program
can be copied to and between the notes program and a browser - so I could
keep draft blog posts in it, links, formatting and all, or paste in sections
of a web page with rich text and links. None that I've tried can do this so
far (but hopefully BasKet 2 or one on the others can). For now I keep my
blog drafts in a long HTML page, and edit with SeaMonkey Composer, which is
very RAM-hungry. A word-processor (OOo3 or AbiWord) is out of the question
as they make very messy HTML. Any other suggestions on that are welcome too!
