I use Tomboy[0] to maintain all of my notes. I sync it via plain ol' ssh to a server at home. Other ways to sync include WebDAV and local folders (combine with something like DropBox). If you also want Web access, there's Snowy[1], which you can either host yourself or via a service like Ubuntu One[2]. I prefer the speed and convenience of a desktop application, but it's good to know that there's a Web-based front-end too. Note: Tomboy uses Mono. If that bothers you for whatever reason (legal, resource usage, etc.) you can try another implementation such as gnote[3] or Conboy[4].
