OS X is not Linux, nor is it based on Linux. Darwin is based on the BSD kernel, which is completely separate from Linux.

The keyboard has no end or hash key. You need to select the hash sign from a pull down menu... Great for programming
Option+3 will give you the hash symbol. Try using the keyboard viewer (formerly known as Key Caps) to show what the different key combinations will produce. There are quite a few special characters available via the Option key.
