[tor-talk] Relay Only?

[Warren Michelsen]

New to Tor...

I have an Intel 64-bit machine with Fedora Linux that's not currently doing anything and I want to set it up as a Tor relay. It won't be used for anything else -- no client use. 

Is there a Linux OS that is best for a Tor relay? (A server installation, perhaps?) Does it matter?

Is there a Tor "relay" download or must I install the client to be able to configure as a relay? (Calling it a "client" infers that there is a non-client version as well.)

Regular relay or bridge relay?

All advice appreciated.
