Hi,
I use org mode on two pc:
- windows (from work)
- Debian (at home)

How can have just one .emacs/init.el file?

I would store the file on a Dropbox folder that I access from both devices.

Thank you

Renato

There are a few options, described in more detail here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Init-File.html

You can set HOME to point to your Dropbox directory, or use the -u 
command line argument to start emacs with a different init file. Or you 
can put an init file on each machine that simple does

(load "/My/Dropbox/folder/.emacs")

I have several machines and just one .emacs file in Dropbox. I use symbolic
links to it in each computer in ~/.emacs

From the terminal do:
ln -s /path/to/your/Dropbox/.emacs ~/.emacs

I assume windows works the same. If not then put in your windows .emacs a
single line with:

(load-file /path/to/your/Dropbox/.emacs)

Best,

Jorge.

That's exactly what I do as well.   I have 1 .emacs.d folder, 1 .vimrc, 1 gnus
setup, all linked to my different machine home directories from my dropbox
folder.

Works great..

Dave
