which in fact leads to 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Compile_and_Develop_on_Maemo_device

which really shows how to get Lazarus working on an Arm-Linux device.

I have no idea what is special about Maemo that might not apply to other 
Arm-Linux environments, so a more general  description could help in 
many cases.

:-) :-) I, too have an old slug at home and did load debian on same. I 
fear it is quite low on memory for complex userland stuff.

Completely Off-Topic: (please answer in a private mail):
As I have your attention: I want do use the slug either as a ISCSI 
server or as an NFS server to provide a remote (backup)  USB-disks to my 
(Suse) Linux File server. In case of NFS it would need to support 
"device mapper", as the disks are managed in volume groups.

What do you think ?
