Check out Compiere [http://www.compiere.org]. It's supposed to be good. Open Source, written in Java. Performance wise, the word is it's supposed to run rings around the likes of PeopleSoft. But I don't have the time to play around in the ERP/CRM space anymore, so I haven't loaded it. I had heard of least one ERP consultant implementing/extending it in Australia, based in Melbourne.Not open source but I have used salesforce.com which is a no software solution.
The biggest problem with it is the requirement of an Oracle backend. This is supposed to be rectified through some database independence work, but I'm not sure how that's progressing. The site's forums look the best place to get good information. See also: http://www.compiere.org/technology/independence.html
Cheers,
Matt

At work, the sales guys are pushing to replace ACT! with MS CRM. It relies very much on an MS infrastructure requiring MS-SQL2000, Exchange2000/2003 and it's own Win2000/2003 server running IIS, all in the same AD.
all run over the internet and with good interoperability with your backend.
