No? >From the Emacs manual: "Your site may also have a "site startup file"; this is named `site-start.el', if it exists. Like `default.el', Emacs finds this file via the standard search path for Lisp libraries. Emacs loads this library before it loads your init file. To inhibit loading of this library, use the option `--no-site-file'. *Note Initial Options::. We recommend against using `site-start.el' for changes that some users may not like. It is better to put them in `default.el', so that users can more easily override them. You can place `default.el' and `site-start.el' in any of the directories which Emacs searches for Lisp libraries. The variable `load-path' (*note Lisp Libraries::) specifies these directories. Many sites put these files in the `site-lisp' subdirectory of the Emacs installation directory, typically `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp'."
