Lazarus is like Delphi 5 or 7. I actually used it 4 or 5 years ago to port  
some
Delphi code to FreeBSD and it worked pretty well.

I used Lazarus and FPC to create a GUI cd burner for FreeBSD and a front  
end to a
mysql db for tracking my album collection - but I moved to python so  
haven't used
it in 4 years or so.
