gnote: The Dehydrated Tomboy
To the delight of all Ubuntu users who have been complaining about Tomboy being a resource hog, thanks to Mackenzie ‘maco’ Morgan, I’ve discovered a Mono-free alternative: Gnote, which is basically a port of Tomboy to C++. It’s blazingly fast and, from her experience, integrates better with the GTK theme setting in KDE.
It is regretably not in the Ubuntu archive yet, but I’ve asked Vadim Peretokin, who has it available in his PPA, to contribute the package to karmic once it opens.
You should check out Zim as Tomboy replacement. It’s on Ubuntu proper and once you get used to the different paradigm, is really great.
