***BECAUSE IT IS MORE ACCURATE AND CLEAR THAN THIS TREAD.
Tor And Vidalia was tested in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx and Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat using this way, and it worked like a charm.
Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allow people and group to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. It also enables software developers to create new communication tools with built-in privacy features. Tor provides the foundation for a range of applications that allow organizations and individuals to share information over public network without compromising their privacy.
Anonymous Surfing provides us access to blocked sites from region because it changes our IP address to another IP address. So we are logged in as from another region or it hides the users real IP. Using tor you are able to browse throughout the interest with 100% privacy or access certain sites which has firewalls or blocked by authority.
To get this installed in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx first thing yo have to do is to get the tor distributions added to the software sources. To do that type this in the terminal.
Type this as the ATP Line...
Reboot your PC. I don't think this is necessary. But I had to do it.
When that is complete open a terminal and type this in. It will get you an GPG KEY.
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -
After that you have top install tor. You can simply install that by typing this in a terminal.
I did it using this way. Do it in anyway you prefer. But remember you have to get this step 100% right. If not it won't work.
When it's opened select all texts ( CTRL + A) and delete (del) everything found in that file. Then open the "config file" that you've downloaded just before that. Copy everything (CTRL + A) (CTRL + C) in that file and paste it (CTRL + P) in the original "config file" opened from gedit. After it's pasted save and exit gedit.
When it's done restart polipo,
Now open your Mozilla Firefox browser and go to “Add-ons” under “Tools”. Search as “Torbutton”. Install that add-on and restart Firefox. In Torbutton” preferences you'll be able to find “use custom proxy setting” under the tab “Proxy Settings”. Select “use custom proxy setting” and click ok. Close the Add-ons window.
You'll be able to see the torbutton at the bottom right in the Firefox browser. Click on it and it will enable tor. Restart the browser again. And you'll be able to surf though the Internet with a hidden IP.
sudo apt-get install vidalia
Vidalia is the GUI for Tor. You can use that to start and stop tor, get a new IP address and etc. Vidalia is quite user friendly than using tor with the torbutton.
After Tor is enabled I got my new IP address as the one below.
Enjoy Anonymous Surfing!

To get this installed in Ubuntu Lucid Lynx first thing yo have to do is to get the tor distributions added to the software sources. To do that type this in the terminal.
gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties-gtk.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk
When the window is opened go to the tab “other software” and click “add”
Type this as the ATP Line...
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org lucid main
When that repository is added click “Close”. Then it will ask whether to reload the application list to get it updated. Click on “Reload”.
Reboot your PC. I don't think this is necessary. But I had to do it.
When that is complete open a terminal and type this in. It will get you an GPG KEY.
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb
Then you have to install Polipo
sudo apt-get install polipo
After installing Polipo you have do edit the config file located at /etc/polipo/config. To do that download this config file and extract the zip and replace it with the original fount at /etc/polipo/config.
I did it using this way. Do it in anyway you prefer. But remember you have to get this step 100% right. If not it won't work.
sudo gedit /etc/polipo/config
When it's opened select all texts ( CTRL + A) and delete (del) everything found in that file. Then open the "config file" that you've downloaded just before that.

/etc/init.d/polipo restart
