Sorry for some beginner's questions, but.

New to Mac OSX. Various software instructions may say home directory; is that OS X  ./USERS/Me
or Unix's /usr/me:

Sometime they refer to the bin directory. Which bin?

Some instructions say $prefix .. what prefix is that?

Is this even an understandable question?
