[edit] Article name

Why is this at µCLinux? The site for it calls it uClinux (with a lowercase l) and states that it is pronounced as you-see-Linux. --/ɛvɪs/ /tɑːk/ /kɑntɹɪbjuʃənz/ 20:19, May 18, 2005 (UTC)

It is because they use the greek letter mu, which is pronounced 'you'.--YGagarin 21:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

The site uses a lowercase Latin u, not a lowercase Greek mu or a micro symbol. --Evice 18:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U vs Μ

U derives from the Greek Υυ (upsilon);
Μμ is the ancestor of the Latin M.

Their glyphs may appear similar but the letters themselves are not at all related—they were borrowed before miniscules existed.—Kbolino 07:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Did you not read my talk page entry? The official site calls it uClinux. --Evice 20:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
