OpenTaps
This system looks to be a good combination of features and possibilities. For a structural overview go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opentaps
Attractive feature is that it "Links with Magento (out of the box)" but also integrates serious CRM, ERP and its own Web Selling program. I am not clear yet what level the Demo is promoted to.
Gave it a first spin at install and do have it running now on top of TKL Tomcat Apache. I am reading however that the install was such that it installed its own Tomcat and Database system. Purports to be installable onto Postgres and MySQL both. Thinking MySQL would be a good default as it integrates into TKLBAM.
- various demo pages start here: http://www.opentaps.org/products/online-demo
- this is their integral web store (not the Magento Store): http://demo1.opentaps.org/ecommerce/control/main
- download request here: http://www.opentaps.org/products/download
- sourceforge is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opentaps/files/opentaps%201.4/

Method followed for first install: (I believe this is in etc, but I need to look again)... followed asksaro's recomendation:
Before we build Opentaps, we must set the correct Java paths. The follwing is asksaro's example.
# export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-1.6.0-jdk
# export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
Dropped Download onto Root: Expanded into its own Folder in Root: Renamed Folder to simply OPENERP (taking 1.52 off the end - Giving the 1.52 ending to the Readme File in the same folder
First Tomcat Applied Commands:
apt-get install ant ant-optional
ant run-install #to get Sample Data installed
# OR:
ant run-install-seeed
ant run-install-extseed # to get blank install with base template
some variaton of: startofbiz.sh (see Asksaro.com link above) Builds its own Database and Web Server. AskSaro.com link above documents how to do PostGres Install. OpenTaps.org Documents how to do MySQL install. Wiki indicates that this can be installed on nearly any Database.
Will spend some time comparing OpenTaps to OpenERP. Full package eval and also comparison of Magento Tie ins. Will need to learn how to setup multiple Hosts on a System in order to host different business entities. Making a Patch will need to automate Database Setup, and should also define various "host entities" if at all possible (This is also needed in Magento Patch - Build).
