What are the advantages and disadvantages of muLinux with respect to other floppy-Linux?
The majority of floppy-Linux to be found (with some remarkable exceptions) are simply a selection of binaries taken from some distribution and placed on a floppy. Often they are normally formatted 1.44 floppies and the filesystem used is not even the native Linux, but minix. Rare are those which allow connection to the Internet and even rarer are those which allow access to the normal network services, such as mail, news, ftp, http, etc. None of these, however, offer support for sound, fax or even a web server, as muLinux does. All of this could be bearable, and in a certain sense in the order of things, if it were not that many of these floppies have a fundamental deficiency which renders their use very unpleasant: one needs to configure them each time they are booted!
