How can I trust all my Tor nodes in path

[Ringo Kamens]

Linux is very tor friendly. If you are a linux noob I suggest ubuntu. I
oppose the idea of a tor police force for several reasons:
1. Lie detectors don´t work
2. It is no better than the opressive governments tor tries to circumvent
3. It would take too much work.

I do appreciate the effort to find a solution. Perhaps there is a way that
tor clients to calculate a checksum of the server files?
