Newbie to Droid and willing to learn how to root and use Droid X

[ssboo_ohio]

Only had Droid X for a few days. No prior knowledge to this type of cell phone. Always had a basic phone until now...
Other than reviewing this site, how easy is the root process?
I have been told that I should root my phone after backing up current configuration, any advice???

I'm not to familier with the rooting process of the X because I don't have one you would be able to get a answer in the X threads. My advice would be to read up on rooting before you start because if you don't follow all the directions just right you could make a mess for yourself. My first Android was the og Droid and I remember reading for a week before I pulled the trigger. And make sure if you have any question just ask don't guess.
