my first use of mac os

Starting from this week I work on a Mac ! I have been using Linux (mandriva and ubuntu) for several years and this is the first time to work in Mac OS. Here I will try to resume my experience with mac little by little.

It is Mac OS X 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard), the kernel version is Darwin 10.5.0. The processor is Intel, and the architecture is i386 x86-64

I type "env" in the terminal to find more information, and found that it uses bash and the display is org.x:0

I tried to use emacs in the terminal, but it does not work ! I use which emacs, and found it is is /usr/bin/emacs, but when I call it, it has no response !

I have to go to Nxclient for OSX, where the emacs is properly installed.

Finally I realised that Maestro is a remote server for large calculations. On my own PC, if I want to work properly, I need install the stuffs myself.
