Newborn droid needs programming.

Im new like a baby to phone technology and know nothing. So when I found this forum I got happy.

Let me cut to the chase, I want to root my phone but have no idea how to go about it in the slightest way. I read these forums and its like reading a foreign language.

Kernals, roms, like ten other words I can't remember are meaningless to me. Im as green as grass when it comes to this.
So someone just tell me where to start. Explain to me some of what I need to know from step one.

Thanks everyone.
