I use a piece of Windows software, of which I have been trying to find a 
linux equivalent that is just as useful.  The software is called 
KeyNote, which can be found at the following link:

This software does work in WINE, but I would rather find linux-native 
software.  I have tried TomBoy, and FreeMind, but neither work how I 
want them to for note taking.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!  - Joey
