There are other web based alternatives worth a lot more.

Which (besides the interesting forks "Lx-Office ERP" and "SMB Ledger")?

Most of the others I have seen (WebERP and the like) use MySQL (often 4.x) as their backend. I would not recommend using MySQL for this sort of task as it isn't really the right tool for the job.

This is one area where there aren't any applications I would consider of very high quality in the open source world and just as many bad apps in the proprietary world. Hopefully we on the LedgerSMB project can do better but it may take a year or so to get the codebase straight.
