  I start with tldr then move into help or manpages as necessary. Then when I understand, I still come back to tldr to remember.

  Restoring a lesser-known Unix System V Release 4/i386 distribution from the early 90s

  Ditto.

  At or near the same time as your introduction was mine with Consensys SVR4 for i386[0]. IIRC, Consensys sold stat-mux cards for PC's at the time, hence their Unix SVR4 product. It was reasonably priced along with being a pretty vanilla AT&T distribution.

  Good times :-)
