If you ever ran a program in Windows XP that looked
like 95 or worse? The purpose of dynamic linking isn't
just to save disk space.
Commercial Linux apps usually give you the option of
static or dynamic and comes with the libs necessary
for dynamic. There's no reason binaries for open
source apps can't be distributed the same way.
