Question [Q] heimdall root?
Anyone tried rooting via Heimdall yet as opposed to Odin? Hoping for some good news before I try and brick this thing...

Yeah, I've currently got two instances of win 7, one XP and one server 2003 under Virtual Box on my laptop. Also have a few machines running under KVM on my home server. One of those ought to do the trick. Was just wondering if I could be a purist in this endeavor.
