Cross platform, portable Onenote-like software?

I use and like Evernote. It's sufficient for basic note taking, although the desktop applications offer far greater features then the web version.

Ever use the program wikidPad? (at http://wikidpad.python-hosting.com/)
Looks like something you can use. Free and open source - Screenshot below: (see attachment in previous post)

Try Zoho Notebook (www.zoho.com). It works online, but pretty well as a substitute for OneNote.

Notepad++ and Textpad are two very good alternatives that I've used for the past few months now.

About Evernote, which is cross-platform (at least Mac-PC), I just worry about the fact that your data is also online (from what I have understood) : is this the case, or can you keep everything locally ?

I mistakingly thought that for years also.  It's not true.  The truth is Evernote does both.  it stores your data locally AND on their website.  The program syncs itself as you add stuff to it.  I used to not like the idea of it, but it's actually really nice.  You have the option to use evernote locally on your pc, with no internet connection necessary.  But because it syncs, you can also access your data from a web interface if you are on other computers.  And you can also access it using a mac, iphone, ipad.  It's pretty darn cool.
