Hi folks

those of you using TOR (or want to) on Linux VM's (or hosts for that matter) might come up with problem importing gpg key when installing via the distros package manager. (key too long etc - various errors).

Either download source and compile yourself or download the package from the tor site and follow those instructions.

If using arch type distros opt for option 3 from the aur - the development version -- installs perfectly but it will be the eng-us version -- shouldn't be a problem for those users familiar with tor.

There are work arounds with certificates and keys but I always think that doing anything with those things runs the risk of compromising your system.

I try and avoid installing stuff manually as it makes monitoring and having consistent systems much harder. Package managers are designed to keep tabs on what's installed etc so I prefer to use them.

Cheers
