Alright, I've decided that it's time for a change, and am looking for something new for an OS. (Ok, I get restless and embark on new things.)

Anyway, I was looking over the documentation for freebsd, and didn't see any reference to /home in the partitioning schemes.

Is /home used for user files? If not, then where are they stored?

I like having a separate partition for my personal files. I've had many a time when that has saved my work when I've had to reinstall the OS (brother-in-law simply unplugged my computer one time to move it rather than powering it off -- result was a completly unbootable system).

TIA
