    The default prompt is 3 lines high: first an empty line, then
  your-log-name AT your-machinename and then the classical "$ ". What you
  are observing is perfectly normal, but feel free to revert to a single
  line prompt if makes you feel better: add a PS1="$ " in your .bashrc if you
  want something more compact.

     Cheers,

        Loïc
