uclinux is a version of the Linux kernel for systems without a MMU. <- kernel

uclibc is a small(-er) C library for embedded systems. <- C library

  Some systems use both, some systems only use one or the other.  Most
standard systems use Linux + glibc (neither).

  AstLinux uses the standard Linux kernel and uclibc.  As pointed out
in other responses, there are several other projects that use uclinux.
 AstLinux is not one of them (yet).


P.S. - Wrong project - this is a trixbox question.  Wrong list -
asterisk-dev is for ASTERISK code discussions, not trixbox user
questions.  I'm only replying to this to prevent google from thinking
that AstLinux uses uclinux.

P.P.S - Running anything resembling trixbox on the blackfin is a
horrible idea.  With all of the time you are going to spend even
getting trixbox to fit in the flash limitations of a typical Blackfin
platform (not to mention sorting out all of the mashed together
components perl, php, etc) you could implement something better from
scratch that actually has a chance to run halfway decently on your
target platform (Blackfin).  Sorry for the run-on/rant! :)
