Now....read the "Description" from the above output....
The main thing I believe you want to know is that "(gnote)...is a port
of Tomboy to C++ and consumes fewer resources.
OK....Is that helpful?
You can even visit http://live.gnome.org/Gnote and
http://projects.gnome.org/tomboy/....
On http://live.gnome.org/Gnote you would see......
"Gnote is a port of Tomboy to C++.
It is the same note taking application, including most of the add-ins
(more are to come). Synchronization support is being worked on."
OK?
