[opensuse] Suggestion for knowledge keeper?
Hello, Currently I'm using Kate to keep notes, part of log files, my thoughts, various passwords, bank account numbers, etc. Over 3 years now the file has grown so big, that I think now it's taxing system resource too much. I'm looking for a better solution. A friend of mine suggests tomboy, but I don't like it. Can someone share your suggestion any tool for this kind of purpose? Thank you very much. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 20:43:52 up 50 min, 2.6.20-16-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.

I use "Tuxcards", which allows you to arrange your notes in a hierarchical manner. You can have multiple files, for different catagories etc.\ -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Maybe you'd like to take a look at basket[0][1], it comes as stand alone application or as kontact plugin. It looks quit interesting and should be helpful for your the needs you described. However I also heard of some people that they got problems with Kontact after installing it - so if troubles should occure double check if Basket could be the cause..

Wow, all of these suggestions looks very interesting. So far they are (in no particular order): - basket http://basket.kde.org/ - kjots, gjots - elog http://midas.psi.ch/elog - zim - tuxcards I'm overwhelmed by all of those choices :) I guess I'll spend my weekend evaluating them.

You can also use the KDE kwalletmanager to store passwords, account details manually in an encrypted file. If you open the main window, you see the standard KDE wallet used by applications like konqueror, kmail and kopete. You can add a new, separate wallet with an independent password for your own stuff with its own folder hierarchy, containing passwords, key/value maps and other data types, or you can add your stuff to the KDE wallet without interfering with the data stored by the applications. The nice thing about the wallet is that it has search as you type so you can just type eg "bank" and drill straight down to the banking entries... also For general knowledge modelling also look at KDissert - it was written as a dissertation planner but is not limited to that: http://www.kde.org.uk/apps/kdissert .

Sorry for the very late reply. Kdissert is cool.

Sorry for the late posting. I want to inform you that finally I choose "Basket" (http://basket.kde.org/) for these reasons: 1. Integrated to Kmail which I have been using for years. 2. Reasonably fast in opening my "3 years" of personal logs. 3. Very nice user interface The only missing feature is the "highlight" of search results. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 16:10:38 up 6:15, 2.6.20-16-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.

I will 2nd Basket. I used Kedit for years, then kjots. Kedit is obviously old school, Kjots is fantastic, but lacks any meaningful way of moving your files from computer to computer. Basket is kjots on steroids. It's group feature that allows you to collapse groups of information in an 'outline' manner is great. The publish to html works great as well and doesn't suffer kjots limitation of little or no formatting. Hope this helps -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

You might try Zim, a desktop wiki, which is available from Pascal Bleser's Guru rpms. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.rhedadur.org.uk - Rhedeg berfau Cymraeg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Or just install mediawiki. It works well and is widely used elsewhere so the markup language skills are transferable. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

*Basket* for all your notes and scripts. *KeepassX* for all your passwords login details ect. I run PortableApps on my USB drive so have KeepassX running from there that way I can carry them around with me. -- Regards Peter cannon "There is every excuse for not knowing There is no excuse for not asking" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Wow thanks Peter! I didn't know about these! I was using Tuxcards (as two-pane) and pwmanager for password managing. The problem with tux and pwmanager is that they're not currently maintained (at least there hasn't been a new release for more than a year) so I'm glad to know about these two new options!
