Hello JC,

Don't be shy of running tor, you can get support here. As for managing
tor directly from conf files, it isn't so scary even if you are a
newbie. If you'd followed the latest threads you would new that there is
recommendation on upgrading to 0.2.4.x. So assuming you would want to do
that:

https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu

After that, you should just need to edit /etc/tor/torrc and:

# service tor restart

The conf file is self-explained through comments, with verbose examples
on how to do things with tor. Also, don't forget to give contact info on
your node so people can contact you in case they see misbehavior on your
machine.

Shout here if you run into trouble.
