Talking [Q] Froyo root help??

I have the Virgin Mobile Intercept with 2.2 and I would like to root and use a custom ROM. I have been searching everywhere on how to do it, but all I'm finding is either how to root an intercept running 2.1 and how to upgrade to 2.2. So my question is can I follow the 2.1 root instructions or is there a link that tells how to root if your phone already has 2.2? Also what are some good ROMs to consider. Any link or advice is appreciated
