Semantik (formerly KDissert) - 
http://freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert.html
 - the KDE mind-mapping tool, is well-regarded by schools
and others.

I'm a luddite on this front, and do my mind-maps with 
pen and paper in my mind-map diary ;-)

There are other Free Software mind-mapping tools available,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mind_Mapping_software
and other sources will point you to FreeMind, too.

As it's Free Software I'm sure Semantik could be compiled
for non-*nix platforms. FreeMind is Java.

hth,
