Did I write "pinfo"? No, I wrote "yum info". So, let me do it for you.... [root@f11 ~]# yum info tomboy Installed Packages Name : tomboy Arch : i586 Version : 0.14.3 Release : 1.fc11 Size : 9.8 M Repo : installed Summary : Note-taking application URL : http://projects.gnome.org/tomboy/ License : LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and MIT Description: Tomboy is a desktop note-taking application which is simple and easy : to use. It lets you organise your notes intelligently by allowing you : to easily link ideas together with Wiki style interconnects. [root@f11 ~]# yum info gnote Available Packages Name : gnote Arch : i586 Version : 0.5.3 Release : 1.fc11 Size : 1.6 M Repo : updates Summary : Note-taking application URL : http://live.gnome.org/Gnote License : GPLv3+ Description: Gnote is a desktop note-taking application which is simple and easy to : use. It lets you organize your notes intelligently by allowing you to : easily link ideas together with Wiki style interconnects. It is a port : of Tomboy to C++ and consumes fewer resources. 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? -- An air of FRENCH FRIES permeates my nostrils!!
