EDIT:
Rewriting top of post as "current state" to catch any traffic that hits here.
Custom kernels are a reality - ROMs are on their way. The best forums i've found for updated progress here:

Zefie appears to be king of the scene - with many others making solid contributions. Poke around a bit and you'll figure out some stuff quickly.

OLD POST:
I just upgraded from a touch pro to a samsung moment. The hardware specs lured me in; I wanted a HW keyboard and Android, and for a variety of reasons wanted Sprint service.
So...being flash crazy...naturally i'm ready to get root exploited so I can utilize both some programs and custom roms. I'm still not 100% what i'm talking about, but i've been OVERWHELMED with info on the interwebs...and I know and trust this site from my previous HTC 6700/TP experience.
Hoping some folks might have the same background - I'm hoping this might be a good place to start a thread that could get many brains on the same page. If i learn something that gets me closer to root, i'll post here. Hopfully you will too.
So...nothing SPECIFIC to the Moment exactly, but i've found evidence that the galaxy has been rooted, which gives me hope.
EDIT: bundled links proved unsuccessful elsewhere
