which tex

George-Ghios-Computer:~ georgeghio$ which tex
no tex in /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin 
/usr/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.4 /Users/georgeghio/bin 
/sw/bin /usr/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.4 
/Users/georgeghio/bin /sw/bin 
/usr/local/teTex/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin7.4 /Users/georgeghio/bin 
/sw/bin
George-Ghios-Computer:~ georgeghio$

Does this look right?
