Throwback:

Oct 30, 2000 — the last Multics time-sharing OS was shut down at Canada's Department of National Defence in Halifax. A landmark in computing history: Multics helped shape Unix and modern OS design.

Truth to be told, #DomainOS is even more forgotten than #plan9, but more #multics flavored then plan9 will ever be.

There was Apollo computer's AEGIS (A early widespread example of a distributed OS that was #Multics based), but misfortunes on part of Apollo computer themselves & the aftermath of HP's acquisition ensured it's death by the start of the 1990's.
