X-forwarding is fast enough on current devices.
As on the QNAP there is no graphics hardware, VNC will not work (at
least not out of the box). It needs a Frame buffer RAM and if there is
none to install X on, you need to do a simulated Framebuffer RAM in the
normal RAM. I suppose this is possible, but might slow down things a lot
(see RPi with hardware-shared FB RAM). X-forwarding is rather "funny",
the X-Terminal being the X-Server for the device. So the best choice is NX.
If you have a little more money, you can get a recent smartphone ...
As said: the hardware inn Question is predefined (for me a QNAP NAS
right now). and for "embedded" application you can't use a smartphone,
even if you design the hardware yourself. You will need hardware project
depending interfaces. In fact this is why I suggested to use a
BeagleBone. This "deeply embedded" board is designed very similar to a
high-level smartphone.
Use "sudo apt-get install lazarus" on the device. Then use VNC, X
forwarding or NX. Or simply connect HDMI output to a monitor, add a
keyboard and mouse and there you have your new desktop.
I've used www.nomachine.com some with desktops but I'll have to use
what you linked on my RPi. Then it might allow my RPi to be a simple
headless embedded system using the ARM Linux stuff here:for

Sorry, I don't get your meaning here. Did you try to install NX-Server
on the RPi (as described in the appropriate paper) ? Did it work ? Did
you try to try to install Lazarus on the RPi ? Did it work ?
Again:
sudo apt-get install lazarus
Nice.
But (like e.g. Suse) the QNAP does not have "apt...". Here two package
systems are available: "qpkg" and "optware". There is only a very
limited and dedicate choice of applications in the qpkg world. much more
on optware, but AFAIK not fpc and Lazarus (I think it would be a *good
thing* if the community would be able to provide both on optware "ipkg".
