Wordpress MU is, aiui, the multiple-blog system.  Lyceum was a fork of
Wordpress to do multiple-blogs from one install, and they've worked to
rebase on Wordpress regularly.  However, Wordpress MU is the formal
effort from Wordpress itself, so it might grow to be stronger with the
rest of Wordpress.  It would presumably play more nicely with plugins,
etc., but I've no experience there.  Here it is in the words of WP
themselves:

I wouldn't put a ton of weight on what Red Hat Magazine is using.  It
could be switched at any time, right?  At the time that RHM was put
together using a blog engine, Lyceum was the clear choice.
