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].
