uClinux was originally designed to run on the Palm (specifically, on the Motorola Dragonball processor). It's not the same as a "normal" Linux distro. Instead, it's more like an embedded OS like vxWorks. They made substantial changes to the kernel to allow it to run in a flat memory space with no MMU. But you can run a shell, and it's fairly easy (according to them) to port apps to run under uClinux.
The name "uClinux" comes from "uC" meaning micro-controller.
