Anyone know of a checklist program?


I am a previous windows user, having abandoned windows for a countless number of reasons (though it is technically still on my hard drive to play games :-P).
In windows, however, i had one tool available that i do not see in Adept or with a google linux search: A program to make checklists!
Its simple - you have a virtual checklist - you can add, edit, and remove items on the checklist and each item has a priority setting of low, normal, or high.

Does anyone know of such a program? Thanks!

Try searching for "todo". When I apt-cache search my debain sarge box, I get the following:

devtodo
gpe-todo
gtodo
phpgroupware-todo
quicklist

Most of the outlook-esque programs have a to-do list.

Korganizer does, and I beleive thunderbird does.

thanks ... some good programs here. Some may be just the ticket ....
But i'm really not looking for a to-do list... im looking for a program to make any number of checklists... the difference being, i use checklists for individual things within some other thing.
so, for example, i put a list of grocieries onto a checklist.
But i would put buy grocies on a todo list.
Maybe im searching the wrong terms ... "todo list program" may search better...
thanks guys!

This is the type of task I'd put into a shell script (I have, in fact, been planning something along these lines).

What features do you need?

not many... basically, i can put a list into a file, so that each item can be checked and unchecked. That way, i have no particular limit to the number of lists :-)

Haven't found anything quite like that yet for linux... i'd probably make one but my experience with C is limited... (i didn't use it for more than a month or so before i quit high-level programming and took up assembly which i've used since... i wouldn't call myself an expert (yet) but my goal is a computer science degree so i figured that was a good place to start )

In windows i used the desktop edition of a PocketPC program called "A Simple CheckList pro" ... though a google for that would yield many unrelated items :-P
