Short answer: no.

Long answer:

While there is no specific reason that the ARM7TDMI-S in the LPC2000 
family would not run uClinux, the issue becomes one of memory space.  
 From my experience, you would need at least 2Meg of RAM / FLASH space 
to hold the kernel + a small filesystem.  If you made the kernel + 
filesystem utils XIP (eXecute In Place), then 1 or 2 Meg of RAM would be 
needed to run applications.

Since the LPC2106 is limited in the amount of memory available, no, you 
cannot run uClinux.
