if you are happy running emacs only in text mode, then you can do like
me: I run Emacs in text mode (emacs -nw), inside GNU screen (well,
actually Byobu), so wherever I am, I only need to connect through ssh to
my workstation, and I have full control and exactly the same
configuration everywhere.
Inside screen I have different shells and in all of them I run
emacsclient, so all of them are connecting to the same Emacs server but
each of them have different windows configurations. Works very well for
me: at work I can even open another terminal (I have two monitors),
connect to Byobu, and have both of them sharing the same Emacs (so I can
see Gnus in one of them and something else in the other one at the same
time). Then when I get home I have exactly the same environment. If you
don't need X, this works great! (I tried the register approach at some
point, but compared to this it was awful, IMO).
Cheers,
