A little explanations please.

I've been out of the iPhone loop for awhile and I'm getting back into it (Saturday ;-)) Anyways, I've seen pictures of iPhones's with non-Apple apps on the front and I've read things like "jailbreak", "SSH", "chmod +x", etc. Can anyone point me to some good articles explaining this? I've read hacktheiphone.com and modmyiphone.com and still need some additional instruction to fully understanding it.

Thanks

Got your +1. Thanks for the constructive help.

jailbreak was the first program to unlock the iPhone's filesystem.

If you need explanation on what "chmod +x" or "ssh" is ... then you should probably wait a while until an easy to use GUI program comes out.

Or promise not to post a thread titled "I bricked my iphone while trying to mod it because I didn't know what I was doing, how do I fix it?"

Well, I wouldn't if I had some extra guidence (aka literature to read.)

EDIT: Really all I think I want to know how to do is change the icons.
