 We will use the existing Linux system as the development platform, because

+<para>Static linking describes a method of compiling software so that
 it does not require the presence of libraries when building is complete.
 The resulting program is able to function on its own. The program is able to
 do so because the pieces of the program that would normally remain in the
 libraries are copied from the libraries and built right into the program.
