Basically to get the root done you need to tether your Droid 2 to a PC and transfer some binaries, but apparently looks straightforward enough.Obviously once Motorola know of this root for the Droid 2 they will no doubt push out a patch in their next over the air update, so if you do go the root route keep an eye on any updates if you wish to keep it.
