One of the reasons I am getting a Droid is because of the rooting aspect, those of you not familiar with Linux and the root should do a little search on Wikipedia.
I'm curious how many active people are trying to hack android2.0 and the phone right now to root it
best of luck and thank you in advance for your efforts.
BTW, with root access to any Linux based device there is ABSOLUTELY an increased chance of something going completely wrong (brick, melt, assplode, you name it)! If anyone tells you different they either have no idea what they are talking about or are lying to you.
