There's no reason /not/ to use your current software
with your current hardware *unless* you find that there's
something that it doesn't support, that's a pain to
work around.

If you're curious about the way that other distros do things then
split the disk into a handful of partitions and when you have
the time install other distros there to make comparisons.

Note that the last version of FreeBSD I tried needed a
real partition to slice for its own partitioning
system, so you may want to keep one of the first
three partitions spare for that.
