Freemind has a java dependency that makes cocaine look like a good
thing ...  The latest version of Freemind required the absolute latest
version of java plus several other java-related deps that made it
pretty much impossible to install with the previous version of Ubuntu.
 So I'm still using the older version of Freemind.

Freemind is, in my view, the best of a bad lot.  It's a very good
product, but I object to it because of java.  Here are the others I've
found in the category of note organizers and/or mind mappers:

Riot (text mode, requires Haskell):

http://www.tuxcards.de/
http://www.jamiehillman.co.uk/mindless/ (stagnant)
http://freemind.sourceforge.net/
http://bhepple.freeshell.org/gjots/
http://www.thinkgraph.com/english/index.htm (license)

KDissert (for dissertations, looks good though - but requires 87Mb of
deps with my current config):

Hope this helps.  If anyone tries any of these, please contact me
off-list to tell me your experience.  Thanks.
