Here's a brief explanation of how to install the Tor anonymizing network on your Eee.
1. Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/ sarge main
This is the Debian repository for Tor. While not all Debian packages work on the Eee, this one seems to run fine.
2. Run the following commands in a terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tor
3. Install a switch
The easiest to use is Torbutton, but I prefer FoxyProxy.
And away you go! You can check whether Tor is working by visiting http://check.torproject.org/
Tor's a lifesaver for me. I live in China (behind the Great Firewall), and I need Tor to access many news sites, Wikipedia, and my own blog.

You may also want to look at installing vmware player and JanusVM, a Tor+Privoxy appliance that helps defeat some DNS vulnerabilities in Tor.
janusvm.peertech.org
I have no information on the legality of any actions taken in other jurisdictions than my own - know your own laws!

Didn't work for me. I have an error:
"Einige Pakete können nicht installiert werden" means "coud not install all packages"
...
There are some dependent relationships.
tor: there is a relationship: but libss10.9.7 it is not going to be installed
thanks

I installed everything, and checked, and the site said I needed Privoxy. How do I get and install this?

I, too have a problem with libssl0.9.7 and tsocks. Couldn't seem to install these libraries. Any advice? Interesting, eosha, I'm leaving for Chengdu tomorrow. Will be living behind the great firewall for about 3 months, thats what lead me to research Tor, provixoy, and vidalia. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with my problem.

I had the same problem as NetPyro. My system has libssl0.9.8 installed.
I installed tor from source, following the directions at torproject.org. I installed make, gcc, and libssl-dev (not sure if I need that) using apt. I installed libevent 1.4.4-stable from source, with no problems.
To install Tor, I had to specify the location of libevent:
./configure --with-libevent-dir=/usr/local/lib
make
sudo make install
tor now launches and seems to run: "Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like client functionality is working."
Haven't tried Privoxy yet.

Privoxy went pretty smoothly. I just installed the precompiled debian package, and that's all there was to it.
sudo dpkg -i privoxy_3.0.8-1_i386.deb
Tor, Privoxy, and Torbutton are all working together. Is there much downside to leaving privoxy and tor always running, even when they'll rarely be used?

Not really, slightly lower security, but that is just by virtue of having running programs, they are not inherently insecure. Slight reduction in overall system performance but still negligible really.
If you are routing through another system, then you can run tor and privoxy there, I tend to use prixoy - squid, and tor - privoxy - squid.

I have tor on USB stick
http://portabletor.sourceforge.net/
I haven't plugged the stick into my eeepc but I used the portable version on my windows computers.

I had the same problem as NetPyro and so followed Owad's post above. I initially tried doing it without installing libssl-dev but then the ./configure step failed. So I installed libssl-dev with synaptic and then everything worked as described below.

privoxy worked without problem using
sudo apt-get install privoxy
