I've used the Windows version for most development, but have lazarus running 
nicely on a CentOS4 VM. Installing from the setup program on windows and from 
rpm on linux was easy.

Just as with delphi, freepascal creates native stand alone executables as well 
as libraries (.dll or .so) and with speed on par (but not as fast) as C . 
Lazarus is the IDE that I use to work with Freepascal.  Lazarus is now about on 
par with Delphi 6, IMO and one of the best IDE's available for Linux.  Not the 
prettiest, but one of the most useful ;)

I also wrote an objectpascal based AGI/FastAGI wrapper a while back if you're 
interested:
