How about a stock VMWare, VirtualBox, Amazon EC2 image that is setup just right for perfect Lazarus/FPC development, with all the options setup exactly right?
I thought about that years ago, but not everybody has a beefy system to run a VM session with good performance. Slackware is easy enough to setup, and comes with all development libraries that you need to develop with FPC and Lazarus. Thus, that is good enough for me.
Can you setup an Amazon EC2 image with all your preferred goodies, that anyone could just clone and develop merrily after?
Is that one of those cloud thingies? I'm afraid the only clouds I know, are the ones that bring rain. ;-)
Like I told somebody else in a private message, if the download size is too large compared to an 700MB Ubuntu download. Why not try your local university, library or Freedom Toaster. They tent to mirror lots of open source software, and you can simply bring your own DVD's and burn copies for free. Those options are available in South Africa, so other countries are bound to have something similar.
