Hello George and all,
When I was learning to implement Tor I had difficulty wading through the web pages for information. Some pages were obsolete, some poorly maintained (think Tor flow or good/bad hosting companies). The Tor manual is just a huge list of Tor terminology with no aids to help find things. The Tor project site has no site map. I still occasionally have the same problems when I try to find something. I found this very discouraging as I tried to grow my first Tor node without a live person to help me. I can imagine how daunting this would be to someone also trying to learn linux.
Hey, thanks so much for asking. I appreciate your interest.
Arisbe,

It is odd for such well motivated people to leave such a mess unculled.
The most useful help is outside the website.
I hope a breath of fresh air is on the way.

While the official Tor site arguably needs a thorough resign, designing a manifold manual for diverse interests and levels of ability AND threat models is no easy task. It's the classic security/ease of use conundrum!

The part to do first and well is the advice for installing and setting-up a node. There should be less presumption and more of what to do when the results are not as stated.
