The default prompt is 3 lines high: first an empty line, then
your-log-name@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.
