I can do all these things and more, but I prefer GUI. Many Linux
distributions are moving away from "hard-core geek approach", but at the
same time even on distros like Ubuntu you can still do everything the old

As I said: I'm new to Tor and I thought because Vidalia includes the option
to run relay this must be the right way to do it. Anyway, I found a
solution that works for me. Thank you guys...
