I wonder how many people be tricked into doing this? Just imagine your average non-techie iphone user getting their N900 and hearing about the awesom root and the incredible benefits the almighty rm -rf / would bring.

Noob: "My phone is cluttered with stuff, how do I clean it up?"
evil geek: "easy! xterm! Sudo gainroot followed by rm -rf /"

Fun times to be had!

EDIT: Less offensive towards iphone users

Create a page if you already have content.
well its basic chicken and egg problem. nobody contributes if it doesnt exist and it cant exist if there is no content.
