48-Year-Old Multics Operating System Resurrected

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/07/09/0414245/48-year-old-multics-operating-system-resurrected

        The last native Multics system was shut down in 2000.  After
        more than a dozen years in hibernation a simulator for the
        Honeywell DPS-8/M CPU was finally realized and, consequently,
        Multics found new life...  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.
