-    The first step is to set up web browsing. Start by installing <a
-    href="http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/">Polipo</a> from
-    your favorite repository. Polipo is a caching web proxy that does http
-    pipelining well, so it's well-suited for Tor's latencies. Make sure
-    to get at least Polipo 1.0.4, since earlier versions lack the SOCKS support
-    required to use Polipo with Tor. You should uninstall privoxy at this
-    point (e.g. apt-get remove privoxy or yum remove privoxy), so they don't
-    conflict.
-    </p>
-    
-    <p>Once you've installed Polipo (either from package or from
-    source), <b>you will need to configure Polipo to use Tor</b>. Grab our <a
-    href="<tbbrepo>/build-scripts/config/polipo.conf">Polipo
-    configuration for Tor</a> and put it in place of your current polipo
-    config file (e.g. /etc/polipo/config or ~/.polipo).
-    You'll need to restart Polipo for the changes to take effect. For
-    example:<br>
-    <tt>/etc/init.d/polipo restart</tt>

-    
-    <p>If you prefer, you can instead use Privoxy with <a
-    href="<wiki>doc/PrivoxyConfig">this
-    sample Privoxy configuration</a>. But since the config files both use
-    port 8118, you shouldn't run both Polipo and Privoxy at the same time.</p>
