Hi, I have similar questions and some of them are already answered, thanks 
Polytropon!

I am Linux refugee, seeking asylum from systemd menace:) I am planning in 
installing FreeBSD on my Lenovo X1 Extreme laptop.

In particular are there any similar resources about kernel? I am interested in 
studying kernel and drivers development so any high-level overview of the 
kernel subsystems and their interconnection would help a lot.

Thanks!
