I did have a slight problem when I tried to install Tor on Slackware. However, I manged to find out the problem. Let me just make sure you are installing it correctly first:
Installation:
- Download Linux Tor Browser.
Link - Extract the file:
32 bit:
tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux32-3.6.2_LANG.tar.xz
64 bit:
tar -xvJf tor-browser-linux64-3.6.2_LANG.tar.xz
- Change to the tor directory:
- Then run Tor browser with
Now, you should see some activity in the terminal. If you get a error like:
"The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting." then try this little fix:
- Use the text editor and open the start-tor-browser script file. Search for these lines:
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting."
exit 1
fi
- Comment the whole of it out, for example:
#if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
#complain "The Tor Browser Bundle should not be run as root. Exiting."
#exit 1
#fi
That is the one problem which I ran into a while back but, looked at why there was a exit=1 and edited it a few times and finally got it too run. If you are a experienced user you would of used this method so many times. I would recommend commenting it out and not actually removing it, it's good practice.
If you still can't get it to work if you could provide a terminal log then I'm sure we can sort it out. I took a shot in the dark as you didn't really supply us with any information about what error you are getting so this could be totally unrelated.
Thanks for the explanation but I've moved on and uninstalled slackware as it was too complicated for me. I don't think I had that error though.

. I don't think he's going to show up in all honesty. 
it was all very helpful ! I think Toshiba is the clear winner, it was my first choice aswell. Was only considering Lenovo because i read on a few sites that this brand scores better than Toshiba, but other sites mention the opposite so... Gonna go for Toshiba.
