Freemind

Freemind: a mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor

Description: A Java Program for creating and viewing Mindmaps

Taking the Concept-Mapping approach to Human-Computer Interface design. A mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor with strong emphasis on folding. These two are not really two different things, just two different descriptions of a single application. Often used for knowledge and content management.

Home: http://freemind.sourceforge.net/ (and http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FreeMind_on_Linux).

Debian Etch: aptitude install sun-java5-bin freemind

If you are on Sarge and don't have sun-java5-bin install j2re1.4 from a Blackdown Java mirror instead. Add to sources.list:

deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian sarge non-free

Command line for Sarge: aptitude install j2re1.4 freemind
