[International / GSM] Should I Root?

[FrenchToast]

I apologize for this (somewhat) redundant question. I'm not new to rooting, or flashing roms, or adb, but I am very paranoid when it comes to rooting itself. Now with the Galaxy Nexus there's another step, unlocking the bootloader. While this all seems fairly easy to do, I'm just wondering, if there's any way my phone would be harmed. If I do all the steps correctly, nothing wrong will happen correct? I'm only 15, and can't risk breaking my phone. Currently I'm looking at using Wug's Toolkit, or the Toolkit at XDA. Also, how can I know if my phone is Yakju, or Takju or whatever, I apologize, I'm not very informed on those topics. (I have an International GSM Galaxy Nexus).

I got tired of waiting (impatient me, I know) and unlocked->rooted with Wug's Toolkit, and boy was it easy! Sorry for wasting a thread,

Hahah, drivers auto-install with the Toolkit, and everything else takes a few seconds...
