I have had my mac for sometime now and love it but was looking for more info on how the operating system works. For example I understand in my applications folder there is my programs but what is the library and the system library? How does it all work etc? Does anyone have any handy links I can use to learn more about the workings of OSX?
Got a tip for us?

~/Library is constrained to the userid so any application specific information that goes in there is only available to that specific userid
/Library is more computer wide so any applications that put stuff in there will be visible to all users. I believe photoshop shoves a lot of stuff in /Library and also OS related stuff can be found in there.
