I am becoming a bit lost here...

[RRollergod]

So I have a Droid running 2.1 non-rooted as of now. I am eager to root it, but looking through the countless tutorials, many of which are outdated, I am a bit confused. Can someone please point me to the easiest and safest way to root?

I was in the same boat just over a month ago.

Guide to Rooting Android 2.1 on a Motorola Droid - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

Is this still usable on a Mac?

the source code was just released today. so are all these tutorials out of date as well? its not a final version of froyo but i assume its stable.

Unless I'm mistaken, the only part of the process that would be affected by having a Mac is the RSD Lite program used to flash SPRecovery. This a Motorola product, so the answer might be found when you go to download it.

Everything else that involves the computer is just moving downloaded files onto the SD card. I assume the card can be mounted on Mac just as it can on a PC, but having never owned a Mac I don't know.

You need a pc to root a droid running 2.1. RSD Lite doens't work on macs.
