It allows you to just click and type text. Further, you can paste links, images, files, addresses, and colors, which is useful for people in web or application development. Organization follows a hierarchy status, using baskets sorted by topic or project. All ideas support tagging, making it really easy to come back to where you were before and reconstruct previous notes. It allows password protection, and notes are automatically saved as you type them, so a power outage at the university will only bring glee at getting out of class early. This application is meant for KDE, so you may have to install some dependencies if you are a GNOME user. Install by searching for "basket" in Synaptic, by clicking this link, or by typing "sudo apt get install basket" in the Terminal.

any chance someone knows of a similar program for gnome? I've tried using basket and really like the features, but as a KDE app it always feels a bit out of place.
The closest I've found is tomboy, but it doesn't keep things quite as organized in my opinion.
As always, thank you.

Has it been updated for KDE 4 yet? Or do you still have to download Kontact 3 to get it to work?
I used a KDE 4 version of BasKet in KDE 4.2 if my memory serves me right.
Believe it was a svn-version, and I used it with Arch and KDEmod.
However, I'm using KDE 4.2.91 (KDE 4.3 Beta 2) and switched to a different version. I belive that one just has KDE 4 GUI.
I do not have Kontact 3 installed and it is not integrated in Kontact 4 where I'm using Kjots for taking notes.
Basket is awesome, been using almost 2 years now.
Another program for doing this, in a more text-oriented view (though, with links as well) is Org-mode under Emacs. Have a look at http://orgmode.org.
Thank you for the great article! This program has become extremely helpful to me.
