I don't know of any specific software but I have read about OO.org OpenOffice.org Off-the-Wall: Back to School with Bibliographies
Hi, one reason that is stopping me from going all the way to convert to Linux for my machine is that I use a Windows based program called Endnote (a software to create bibliographic databases and also to cite while writing a paper in MS-Word). I havent been able to find a similar program that would work on a GNU-Linux system. Is anyone aware of such a program that I can use on Linux with OpenOffice? I had suggested ResearchSoft (the company that sells Endnote) that they should try to also release an Endnote version for Linux users but this is what I heard back from them:
"There are no plans to create a Linux version of EndNote. Our Web-based
bibliographic tool, WriteNote, works through a Web browser on all
platforms - including Linux. www.writenote.com.
We do hear requests for CWYW plug-ins for many different word processors
fairly often and we would love to be able to accommodate this - but this
is just not economically feasible. The MS Word CWYW plug-in is over 1
million lines of C++ code that would need to be heavily customized, and
tested for each application. We just do not have the staff bandwidth to
do this for all [or even some] of the other popular word processors."
I checked Writenote that the above email recommends but that is not exactly what I want. Anyway, would like to hear from others if anyone can provide some info about alternatives on Linux. Thanks.

There's always CrossOver Office, which will allow you to easily install and use MS Word on Linux. There are two big drawbacks: CrossOver isn't free (as in speech or beer), and your Endnote application only runs with varying degrees of success, according to other CrossOver users.
Thanks. Those are useful suggestions. I think I will wait till I get a more reliable alternative to Endnote for Windows. I really love Knoppix so far and would like to move to running Debian from my hard disk once I get done with my dissertation defense. At least on one of my machines.
