Remembering Multics (OSViews)
Here's one for the history buffs: OSViews looks
at the Multics OS. "Multics is an acronym for "Multiplexed
Information and Computing Service." It was a timesharing operating system
which began its life as far back as 1965. Although the OS is relatively
unknown today, many might be surprised that the OS has several direct
influences on many operating systems commonly used today."
