how to get root the eay way

coming from a Linux world myself i thought it would be a lot easier than to get root on my android g1 as i got a terminal app from the market place so i can now run commands on my phone so i can get root in some way like i can in most Liunx desros sudo

You need to have the abililty to issue SU command at the terminal prompt ...

The Only way to have this is to root a phone with a rooting procedure that takes the phone's OS back to the point when that window was open and then work your way back up to a recent OS Build ... You can find several guides around ... I have one that I used and updated ... you will also find links in it for many other Builds and goodies like updated Recovery and fastboot systems ...
