I have my .emacs and .gnus in ~/ as usual. I'd like to back them up
using Dropbox. I know that I could store them in my Dropbox folder and
symlink them to ~/, but I wonder if there is a better way. Could I copy
the settings in these files, place them in files in the Dropbox folder,
and then include only the load command for these files in .emacs and
.gnus? This way, I could keep my settings secure and could load them on
my Linux machines and my Mac with a single line in the startup files of
each system. No symlinks (which I am not too familiar with and don't use
much) would be required. So:
On each system, .emacs has one line:
(load-file "/home/ross/Dropbox/emacs_startup.el")
(load-file "/home/ross/Dropbox/gnus_startup.el")
Is this workable?
Cheers.
