doon386 writes: The seminal operating system Multics has been reborn. The last native Multics system was shutdown in 2000. After more than a dozen years in hibernation a simulator for the Honeywell dps8/m CPU was finally realized and, consequently, Multics found new life. This revival of Multics allows hobbyists, researchers and students the chance to experience first hand the system that inspired UNIX.
Along with the simulator an accompanying new release of Multics — MR12.6 has been created and made available. MR12.6 contains many bug and Y2K fixes and allows Multics to run in a post-Y2k, internet enabled world.
