I use emacs for text editing and script development. I use both windows and ubuntu emacs 23.1 distribution.

Now I want both my linux and windows environment to replicate the same environment.

  1. I will save my emacs environment here https://bitbucket.org/krish/emacs/, so file synchronisation will not be problem.

  2. I don’t have any different resolution settings for both the envionment

  3. I use aspell which need specific path and different installer in windows and linux

  4. I use perl, python, ruby mode along with other html, css, js-2 and nxml

Are there any specific way/advise to manage the common emacs environment between windows and linux? especially how to manage the program path?
