Mmm. I'm a stupid hobby admin with no IT background. Tor entry servers were 
the first thing I set up on rented servers in the data center. The 
TorRelayGuide on Torproject.org was easy for me.

Debian's sample torrc has always been well documented.

And micahflee's tor-relay-bootstrap script is forked a dozen times. A relay can 
be set up in just a few minutes.

The biggest problem is to find a provider where you can rent cheap unmetered 
servers and who allow exit's to operate. In addition, the provider should 
ideally be far away from DE-CIX Frankfurt and no or few other Tor servers 
there.

And don't forget the Tor Project is a Community Project. Everyone can edit the 
Torproject.org Doku. ;-)

I can always recommend these pages to beginners:
