Dear Team!

Im looking for a free contact management software fot ubuntu, i work for NGO and we have contact list running into thousands and we need to incorporate these contacts into a database, the database itself should have functionalities such as adding, editing, searching, deleting contacts based on certain criteria, it should be easy to manipulate and update.
Preferrable created in sql and php

Thanks and look forward to your feedback

It's a little bit of work to set up initially, but it works well. Open source development. Lot's of plug-ins to extend functionality.

Quicker install using a "stack": http://bitnami.org

Almost a one-click installation, but has a larger footprint and may not be as easy to extend functionality in the future.

X2CRM and OpenERP are also included as "stacks", but I have not used them and can't comment. Check out the forums for these packages, because that is where you will spend your time searching for answers on configuration and adding functionality.

OpenERP and Open Business Management is in the Ubuntu repositories:
