Hi,
how would you advice sharing Emacs customization across different
workstations?
I mean, I use Emacs both at work (Windows) and at home (Linux).
Currently, I keep customization locally, and use a USB stick and a
synchronization tool to transfer changes back and forth. I've thought
about using just the USB stick and referencing it from .emacs, but I
fear losing it, whilst local copies get backed up. That's just my
current way of managing things.
Would you advice differently?
Thanks.

I use a git repository to store my conf files. Then to deploy or update
my configuration on a host, I just have to update the local copy of the
repository.
It's very easy this way for me to manage.

+1 for get repository.
All my init files are under a folder called emacs/
in my .emacs there is only one line that loads emacs/init.el
init.el in turn loads all the files settings needed.
That way i can keep 1 os x 2 linux and 2 windows instances in sync.

Same thing. "Sharing" via a Subversion (or CVS) local "working copy", that I
update as soon as I've committed changes from the other place where it's
deployed.

Have the init and desktop/session files on a network file system from
some server?
Exchange these files via eMail?
I never developed the idea of having exactly *one* private init file
everywhere, also using as super-user the same file. There is just a
huge block of settings that is shared between them... At Easter or
Christmas I check whether some synching is necessary, and that's all!
