<para>When making (compiling) a program, rather than having to rewrite all the
functions for dealing with the kernel, hardware, files, etc. every time you
write a new program, all these basic functions are instead kept in libraries.
glibc, which you install later, is one of these major libraries, which contain
code for all the basic functions programs use, like opening files, printing
information on the screen, and getting feedback from the user. When the
program is compiled, these libraries of code are linked together with the new
program, so that it can use any of the functions that the library

<para>However, these libraries can be very large (for example, libc.a
from can often be around 2.5MB), so you may not want a separate copy of
each library attached to the
program. Just imagine if you had a simple command like ls with an extra 2.5MB
attached to it! Instead of making the library an actual part of the
program, or Statically Linked, the library is kept a separate file,
which is loaded only when the program needs it. This is what we call Dynamically
Linked, as the library is loaded and unloaded dynamically, as the program needs
it.</para>

<para>So now we have a 1kb file and a 2.5MB file, but we still haven't saved any
space (except maybe RAM until the library is needed). The REAL advantage to
