Someone answered the portion regarding the commands. As for the  
location of the 'bin' directory, OS X hides several UNIX directories  
in the Finder as part of their simplification facade. You can always  
access them from the shell:

[daniello at mercury.local]$ cd /bin
[daniello at mercury.local]$ ls -l
total 16920
