I'm rather hesitant about rooting...

[Sunsparc]

I know that more often than not, rooting is extremely beneficial. I enabled linux access on my Pre easily, since I know a lot about the linux operating system. However, rooting and flash on the Evo looks a bit more involved and slightly further from linux base.

I bricked my Pre 3 times but always had a backup tool (webos doctor) which was dead simple to use in case I needed a rescue.

If someone could be very kind, help me take the plunge by pointing out which threads would help me out the most. Also feel free to recommend kernels, ROMs, radios, etc for me to test out once I'm ready to go. I've already had my eye on the Super Battery Saver kernel thread.

Thanks in advance.
