Personal Document Management [closed]

How do you store, maintain, search and index documents, manuals and personal notes?

I, as a programmer regular collect api documentation, manuals, articles, code snippets and programming related documents (pdf, doc, ....). How to other programmers handle this situation?

I would like to setup a personal document management strategy on linux.

I just dump them in folders somewhere and let Beagle^dead handle them.

[edit]
Beagle website dead.

I use a private TWiki web on my webserver. TWiki is available as a "managed application" from my hosting provider; all I've had to do has been to customize it to my liking. But I know from experience it's also pretty straightforward to install by hand.

That way the information's available to me anywhere - not just on the computer I happen to be using right now. And it works regardless if my current machine is running Linux, Windows, Macintosh, BSD, or UNIX... or anything else for that moment, so long as it has a "modern" browser.
