So I've been reading a lot about rooting but im just not sure how to do it exactly. Anyone have a safe yet easy way to do this or know somewhere i can find info like this? I'm not a programmer or anything but really like the idea of having my own custom phone. is this a good idea for someone who's not a computer genius?

check out pre-kitchen. Its an easy method to root if you have windows. check out: Geek For Me – Android CDMA Sprint Hero
Also, like it says, its only for the sprint hero, no Cellular South or GSM model support.
