Unix is born on the ashes of multics that was big and unusable.

As far as I know Multics was an answer to Unix, not an ancestor... Multics was named after Unix to be the opposite and is evolved in Plan9.

Wikipedia says otherwise. Multics was started in 1964, whereas Unix is from the early 1970s:

In 1964, Multics was developed initially for the GE-645 mainframe [..] Bell Labs pulled out of the project in 1969; some of the people who had worked on it there went on to create the Unix system.

Mh, I have to refresh my historic knowledge then... Perhaps I have mixed ITS and Multics...
