Found an interesting Emacs blog with lots of tips and tricks, and is run by Ryan McGeary. The entry for running Emacs on OS X is useful. Ryan recommends the Carbon Emacs package, which is a pre-packaged version of the GNU Emacs version 22, and contains a ton of extra packages not available in the CVS Version. I personally use the latest Gnu Emacs Version 22 from the CVS repository, and compile the application manually (well, via a cron job actually) every month or so, to keep up with the latest developer changes being made in the code-repository itself (which - BTW - can be tracked via the Emacs devel newsgroup), and prefer to manually setup the packages I need. Apart from the literally thousands of site on the net dealing with Emacs, one wiki Site I can whole-heartily recommend is the Emacs Wiki: http://emacswiki.org/, a fantastic resource on Emacs of all varieties, and catering users from newbies through über-geeks.
