How about a stock VMWare, VirtualBox, Amazon EC2 image that is setup

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.
I've successfully run both Slackware and Debian using UML (User Mode
Linux), which allows you to have a slightly-tweaked kernel running as a
guest of a host handling the real hardware. And I did this on something
like a 400MHz P-II. CPU efficiency was good, disc access suffered.
