If you load different configurations from ~/.emacs, you may want to set
custom-file to tell emacs where to store the customizations.
For example, I have this in my ~/.emacs:
;; […]
(let ((configuration (find-configuration (hostname))))
(if configuration
(let ((file (file-truename (cdr configuration))))
(load file)
;; setting custom-file needs to be done after we've customized our stuff
;; otherwise it may be overridden with an empty customization.
(setq custom-file (or file custom-file)))
(message "Found no configuration to load for %s" (hostname))))
