For those of you who have heard of ROM Manager before, you'll might make the guess that since I'm recommending it, it means I've rooted my Motorola Droid and installed another ROM. If so, your conclusion is correct-- and ROM Manager made it easy. ROM Manager didn't actually perform the rooting, mind you (I have EasyRoot to thank for that), but it did make experimenting with ROMs a pretty comfortable thing to do.
What ROM Manager does, on a rooted phone, is to provide an easy mechanism to back up your existing ROM (a ROM being a snapshot of the operating system and data as it exists on your phone) and to install new ROMs or kernels on your phone. If the new ROM or kernel doesn't work, you can just use ROM manager to revert back to one that does (or to your phone's original, stock ROM). It gives you (almost) worry-free manipulation over your phone's software.
