I've worked with it some and it's a very good application. A co-worker
was looking for a system to manage contacts, leads, to-do lists, print
mailing labels for literature, etc, and SugarCRM has been very good so
far for managing it all. It's got a lot of features. I'd definitely give
it a try and see if it does what you need.

I did not install it via the port (just did it locally into a user's
home directory), but I believe the X libraries are there as a
requirement of GD for PHP. Sugar is indeed a web application.
