Someone recently mentioned gnote as a substitute for tomboy. So I
installed it. The two programs have essentially identical man pages. If
you add gnote to your panel you get the same icon as tomboy. Executing
both of then you get the same display. But looking at the program in
the /usr/bin directory gnote is much larger. I looked at the script for
tomboy and gnote is not mentioned. But tomboy appears throughout the
binary gnote.

So, what is the scoop about these two programs?

If you do a "yum info" on both of these you'll get your answer.....


I don't.. Running pinfo on both program names produces the same manual
pages with the only difference is the name of the command and where you
post bugs.
If you see other important information tell me what it is.


Please re-read what I wrote.... Did I write "pinfo"? No, I wrote "yum
info".

So, let me do it for you....

It is a port

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?
