Whither binaries?

[Phil Thomson]

Hi all,

I'm a relative *NIX newby running FreeBSD on an somewhat older (750 MHz) 
machine. I've been installing programs, and they seem to install in my 
home directory by default, but I have my partition table set up so I don't 
have much room there. My questions are: 1) is there a better place to 
install programs (like /usr/bin for example?) and 2) is there an 
established procedure for installing programs in that location by default? 
Sorry if the wording of my questions in unclear; let me know if you have 
any questions.

Phil
