You could have done with saying that earlier when several people were 
saying you could use it.

Assuming that the machine you're sitting in front of is running Linux, 
try this:

*  Use SSH to log into your RPi.

*  SSH gives you access to a shell.

*  Enter the name of an application program that uses the X11 user 
interface, e.g. kinfocenter.

*  That program will run on the RPi, but the user interface will be 
tunneled over the SSH connection so the window will appear on your 
desktop machine.

You can run Lazarus in the same way, but there's various improvements 
you can make to the crude sequence I've described.

You can also install VNC or run X11 remotely, but that's not quite as 
resource-effective.
