I don't recall what debian flavour you're running but if you finally decide to give these applications a chance, ensure you install the latest available versions (wheezy/sid should be fine but squeze may include an old release; if that's the case, the upstream project usually provide updated precompiled packages for many distributions). > The lazarus metapackage loads the gtk2 variant of the ide.

Can't comment on the packages themselves, sorry, I never used Lazarus/ Freepascal before but this is what users recommend as a replacement for TurboPascal. > Wow! 109M download, 691M of disk space expected to be used.

Consider installing that big amount of data in a virtual machine instead filling up your disk in a very insane way because if you finally don't like it, it's easier to delete a VM than having to remove those packages ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
