Notes and Organization

I've got a couple of questions regarding organizing and keeping track of the hoard of information that can accumulate while running a campaign.

What do you use to keep track of stuff (I'm thinking more of campaign, NPC, background info as opposed to in-game)?
I've been doing some research and have found lots of suggestions. John from Roleplaying Tips recommends MyInfo but that is a paid program. I have MS OneNote so I am currently trying to set that up and see if I can get that setup the way I like it.
Do the Linux users have anything similar that you use?
How do you organize your information?

Any tips, suggestions, or hints that you have found work for you?

I am old fashioned. I just keep piles of random scribblings around in paper form. I never get around to trying to compile them into a computer... surprising, I suppose, because I am so computer oriented in most everything else.

Yep, old fashioned here too. Spend a couple of dollars, buy a plastic folder with plastic sleeves and keep everything in there. I find it so much easier to leaf through a folder than try to find things in electronic format. The last few modulesI have run from laptop, but its just not as quick to flick a page and find what you want.
