CRM for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the how-much-difference-does-a-year-make dept.

diwolf writes "I've looked high and low, but haven't found a real Customer Relationship Manager for Linux. I used to use ACT! for Windows (bad word, blah, blah, blah), and loved it. But, I can't find anything similar on Linux. Does this mean I have to dust off my progamming skills and write my own? Or, is there an ACT! clone that's GPL'ed and just waiting for my download?" A ZDNet article from over a year ago also makes this point stating that Linux "still falls short when it comes to supporting workloads required by applications like ERP (enterprise resource planning), business intelligence, CRM (customer relationship management) and supply chain planning". Now it's a year later, and SourceForge has racked up an impressive array of CRM related projects. For those with experience with some of these Linux CRM solutions, how well do they stack up to other well known offerings in this arena?

    "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"

    All our times have come
    Here but now they're gone
    Seasons don't fear the reaper
    Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
    We can be like they are

    Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
    Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
    We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
    Baby I'm your man...

    Valentine is done
    Here but now they're gone
    Romeo and Juliet
    Are together in eternity...
    Romeo and Juliet

    40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and
    Juliet
    40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine
    happiness
    Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like
    they are

    Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper
    Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper
    We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper
    Baby I'm your man...

    Love of two is one
    Here but now they're gone
    Came the last night of sadness
    And it was clear she couldn't go on
    Then the door was open and the wind appeared
    The candles blew then disappeared
    The curtains flew then he appeared
    Saying don't be afraid

    Come on baby... And she had no fear
    And she ran to him... Then they started to fly
    They looked backward and said goodbye
    She had become like they are
    She had taken his hand
    She had become like they are

    Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
