xda forums in general are a super scary place for us noobs. I managed to install the "DJDroid v1.0-R1 BETA" ROM today, no idea how that compares to the defrost one or any of the others to be honest.
Now that it's rooted though, I'd imagine that flashing to another ROM is going to be very similar process and shouldn't be a problem in the future.

Yep very easy. But please remember, before you flash any rom do a full nandroid backup and I would also recommend a titanium backup too.
Yeh, backups are a must - I had to flash (non-rooted) when the OTA update broke the wifi on unbranded handsets a while back, hated losing my SMS messages and so have learnt from that. I'll look into both backup methods, but I dont mind losing my apps etc much, easy enough to get them back, it's SMS I hate losing for some reason.
Even though I won't need it, I'm looking forward to your guide - I'm sure it'll much easier to follow than the XDA forums.
Oh a question, does the voice input keyboard (IME?) function on the defrost rom? It force closes on the one I am using.

Edit:

get chrometophone Downloads - chrometophone - Project Hosting on Google Code is a good one, oh yeah and install the flash 10.1 app from the market.
This guide mentions that it comes without sense
Do you have the link to the latest one that has sense built in?
I'm using the sense one right now,have had it for about 20 hours or so. It works but the phone has automatically reported once or twice and a few apps, Facebook, ebuddy have forced closed a couple of times. Voice to text, and the modified keyboard dont work with it at all.
That said, if you want to try it, I'd say to follow lekky's guide to get used to flashing a Rom, then go to xda to look for the Rom and radio. Like Lekky says, its probably not worth doing yet, as it may crash from time to time.
