How to cast a wide but thorough net during initial trouble-shooting of an unfamiliar system. Or a familiar system, for that matter.

Inspired by Andrew Latham's tutorial "First Five Minutes on a System" for SLUUG given in January 2016, updated with his encouragement.

(The notes for Andrew's talk on the SLUUG website return a 404, but much of the content is available at his personal website at [https://lathama.net/Tech/HowTo/First_Five_Minutes_on_a_System](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://lathama.net/Tech/HowTo/First_Five_Minutes_on_a_System&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw27O3noqhQpPtVIwvKmDH0c)).
