> Why "MU" linux?

This "mu" stands a greek letter (see Unicode Latin-1 char 0x0b5) 
frequently used for indicating the millions part of something.

For example "mu meter" (痠) stands for micro meter and is the one 
millions part of a meter.

Probably the reason for the name "muLinux" is it's tiny size: just one 
floppy and a single (optional) X11-addon.
