No matter what background you come from, you can always turn a few knobs - and make yourself at home. But if you want to stay with FreeBSD for some time, if you want to know it better, it's best to accept the installer's defaults - and get used to them then. Minimum /, small /var and /tmp, huge /usr - where all huge things are meant to be, including web content, home dirs and even huge logs and huge temporary files. The talk is that hier and partitioning might need some brushing up, but for now, if you stick to it, you'll find it hard to run into real trouble when you're left with no solution other than repartitioning your whole disk.
