Quasar: http://www.linuxcanada.com
Pro:
Very comprehensive.
Written in C++ for the Qt environment.
Uses PostgreSQL as the data store.
Seems to work, as far as I went in evaluating it.

Con:
Complex. Not a replacement for MYOB or Quicken & the like.
Thus not suitable for a small - 'Mum and Dad' type of operation.
Uses what seems like 'hundreds' of little forms for data entry.
Appears to be an exact copy of a card-file data system using a computer.
Very much tied to the (complex) Canadian VAT system.
Wierd menu system to navigate around the program.

Things may have changed since I looked at it during Sept 2005.


SQL-Ledgers: http://www.sql-ledger.org/

Good reviews at:

I have not played with this one.


Compiere: http://www.compiere.org/

Has had differences of opinion between the users and originator of the 
codebase, and has been forked.

That's about all I know about.
