  See the node "Saving Emacs Sessions" in the fine manual.

You cannot use Emacs 21.1 on Linux, you probobly mean GNU/Linux,
please see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html,
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html and

From (emacs)Saving Emacs Sessions:

   To use Desktop, you should use the Customization buffer (*note Easy
Customization::) to set `desktop-enable' to a non-`nil' value, or add
these lines at the end of your `.emacs' file:

     (desktop-load-default)
     (desktop-read)

The first time you save the state of the Emacs session, you must do it
manually, with the command `M-x desktop-save'.  Once you have done
that, exiting Emacs will save the state again--not only the present
Emacs session, but also subsequent sessions.  You can also save the
state at any time, without exiting Emacs, by typing `M-x desktop-save'
again.
