Software for Managing Your Bibliography?

Oliver Kayas asks: "I'm a newcomer to Linux specifically the Ubuntu distribution. I have been searching for software that will allow me to manage bibliographies for my thesis. I've come across Kile/Latex however, this only works on KDE and I am using Gnome. Under Windows I was using Endnote 8 which even allowed me to link references to documents on my hard disk so I could easily search for papers I just wanted to read. I know I could use an emulator such as Wine to use Endnote but that defeats the object of switching to Linux. I was wondering if you know of any alternatives?"

Funny you should mention that. Just the other day I decided to give Linux a shot; more specifically, Gentoo. Now, it did take me several days to get it running in an acceptable way--several hours' work. Of course, I had _chosen_ a more advanced distro, so I couldn't have expected anything else. Unfortunately, weeks later I still suffer from the lack of hardware support, and I shouldn't be expecting things to change any time soon...

LaTeX is a text format...

Just use it with any text editor. There are two great choices avaliable for Linux: vim in a terminal, or gvim in X.
