It seems that xda members are working hard. Well at least based on their latest accomplishments…
Members from the forum site were able to root Sprint’s Hero. To root one needs to reprogram the booting sequence and operating system.This way the phone can completely be manipulated.
According to the document’s creator chuckhriczko:
” This is meant for Windows but I will post instructions for linux as well (Ubuntu).”
A few people have tried with successful results. However, there are some questionable steps that need to be done to reach this feat. The outcome could void the warranty of the phone and even cause the phone to become a very expensive paper weight.
Youtube video on a user explaining how to do it. For those who need visuals.

I can confirm that this works great. I rooted my spring hero 2 days ago and installed the modaco rom and everything is working great. Wifi tether, a2sd, etc. Thanks XDA!

Rooting my hero was a lot simpler than my G1 and safer too. This method for rooting provides little to no risk of bricking the phone. I’m currently running the only custom rom by Modaco.

Is there a way to do this on a mac?

Droid rooting / custom firmware probably won’t begin in earnest until Google releases the Android 2.0 source code.
