Partitioning Question

I have downloaded the alternate ubuntu cd.
I am working on the partitions.
This is what I have:

IDE1 master (hda)  - 203.9 GB Maxtor
#1 primary 98.7  MB B f ext3 /boot
#2 primary 10.0  GB   f ext3 /
#5 logical 501.7 MB   f ext3 /swap
#6 logical 40.0  GB   f ext3 /home
#7 logical 10.0  GB   f ext3 /second - this is for another OS to play with

1) I have seen several examples of reiserfs for home and temp.
2) I have set this up correctly?
3) Do I need to manually create /tmp /usr /var?

Thanks
