Hi smurfette8202,

I successfully rooted my D2G using the instructions on this webpage => Droid 2 Global ROOT, CUSTOM RECOVERY & SIM UNLOCK Tutorial - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

As for using a mac, I can't say, since I use "Windoze". Doing a backup before making a big change is always a good idea. Good luck!

Check out z4root, that's what I used, one click root

+10 for z4 root..by far the easiest way to root your Droid!

You won't find it in any android market...you can find it in the xda forum site

And as a tip, if it says download unsuccessful do it from a pc, dl the file, connect phone via usb and put the file on your sd card then run it

You could also try this. It isn't as easy but it's more educational, and for me, it was more fun.
