I was using before Dropbox for all sort of syncing, especially my org

well e.g. for sharing screenshots between windows and linux

I have had problems with Dropbox generating "Conflicting files". I think this is because some of my computers are only intermittently connected to Dropbox. Sorting this out can be very time consuming, especially if it happens inside a .git directory.

I have now gone down the git route for emacs init files and all my .org files. I keep a separate branch for each computer and do a git pull and git merge when I move to a different computer. This does have some disadvantages - you need to remember to commit and push your changes on each computer. However, sorting out mistakes is generally much easier.

Regarding your .emacs you can use elisp to distinguish various bits of your configuration on an OS and computer name basis. Have a look at http://sigquit.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/single-dot-emacs-file/ for a good guide.
