Lazarus and FPC happily read all three line endings.
But when you write code on Linux, Linux line
endings will be created.

This means you can share read-only sources, but the sources you edit
on Linux and Windows should *not* be shared via a samba share.
Checkout cvs/svn/git for each platform and let the version control
system do the conversion for you.
