 https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en#using tells you to
 install Torbutton.

 More generally, this whole page is telling you the wrong way to do things,
 now that Tor Browser Bundle Linux exists.

 Similarly, https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-osx tells people to use
 the Vidalia bundle installer on OS X, and tells people it includes polipo.

 At least https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-windows tells people to
 use TBB at the top, but I wonder if that's loud enough.
