Hello all. First time installing any BSD system. Have used Ubuntu and/or Linux Mint last few years.
Question on partitions. With the Linux distros I always used a /home partition for my personal files. I like the extra assurance that installing a new version or updating the OS does not overwrite my pictures and stuff. FreeBSD will be the only OS on this machine.
Should I do a manual partition of FreeBSD? I've read through the handbook and can't find an explanation of the "traditional partitions" mentioned in section 2.7. What are /var, /tmp, and /usr?
Thanks.
