Depends on how much you slim down your kernel.  You can take quite a 
bit out of
2.6 and compile out tons of stuff.  They will get much closer in size if you
strip it down.

However, the major difference used to be that uCLinux was for systems that
lacked an MMU since this would be a HUGE difference,  Unlike MiNT that only
uses the MMU for memory protection, in Linux, the MMU is a fundamental 
piece of
the system.  Its this reason, more than any other, that a fork was made.
