[Samba] Tranquil It has released a new tool

[Rob van der Linde]

Yes that is right, and I (think) am still quite familiar with the 
language and used Delphi for a long time upto version 7 before 
transitioning to Linux. I've used Lazarus a few times over the years as 
that is easy to install from apt on Ubuntu and Debian systems.

I haven't tried to compile OpenRSAT yet but I have both arm64 and riscv 
debian boxes that I could try on.
