I'm sure it is and I'm sure I've referred to it as a prequel too but if I think 'spin-off' is the most accurate term for it. Prometheus just tells part of the story of what is essentially unimportant background info in Alien.

I guess it all depends on your definition of 'direct prequel' but I look at Prometheus as a movie that takes place in the same universe as Alien and takes place before Alien but they're still removed enough from each other that Prometheus is not really Alien Part 0.

You need to see more movies then. I only thought Prometheus was OK but I can name 5 worse movies from the last six months. Come to think of it, I've probably seen 5 worse movies since seeing Prometheus when it opened.
