Hi George, welcome to Lazarus!. You don't need Wine, with Lazarus you
can create native Linux apps, and even Cross-Compile them from Linux to
Windows without changes.

An easy way to install Lazarus for newcomers, is using CodeTyphon:

1) Download from:
http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php/codetyphon/codetyphon-download

2) Read the quick installation procedure:
http://www.pilotlogic.com/codetyphon/help/index.html?quick_installation_procedure.htm

BTW, I don't use CodeTyphon, but I find it great for new users. I prefer
to get the sources using SVN then compile and install.

Regards,
