  • Zotero does let you tag notes.
     
     You can use note tags to differentiate between quotes and your commentary. And you can group tags with saved searches, to separate the notes from the quotes even more.
     
     Zotero automatically names a note by its first line. So, if you put page numbers in the first line, then the notes will be organized terms of them. I don't know if that will work for you, you'd probably just need to give it a try.
     
     One nice thing about Zotero notes is that you can drag them from Zotero and drop them right into OpenOffice.org writer documents (or other text documents, blogs, etc.). In OOo, the note will get the style formatting of the paragraph where it's dropped. So, no more retyping of direct quotes.
  • Drag and drop of notes also works with Freemind, a mind mapping application that's really useful for making outlines. You can export a mind map as a Writer document, and the mind map structure will be expressed with formatted headings in the resulting ODT.
     
     There are some other ideas for using Zotero in Ubuntu, including for note taking, here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zotero
     You'll find links to the Zotero documentation there, too, which is definitely worth checking out. It can take a while to figure out all of the different features of Zotero and how they might fit with how you work.
