What are the down sides, phone can't be updated any longer through sprint or market? or is that just a rumor?
I am just curious what is gained by rooting, yes there are some stupid sprint apps I want to remove. I want to know what is gained by rooting, by the way yes I use Linux OS, haven't used windows in years so will have to find a copy of windows to install in virtualbox to root the phone to bad no guides to root moment via Linux.
I use 64 bit Linux so would have to virtualbox a 32 bit Linux if a guide was available so doesn't matter I guess.

As long as you can mount your USB on your Linxu host and see it in your VirtualBox Windows XP (or whatever) then you can just follow the root guide.
It's just a matter of Windows XP in VirtualBox to see the phone on your *nix64 host
