Is there a smart way to provide a kind of "distribution" so that I can ease and automate the configuration of the multiple installations? The first thing was thinking about was to set up a ~/.emacs directory will all the lisp extensions and to raw copy it, but there could be a smarter way... Any idea? Thanks, Luca
