Props posixninja; and Added vm_map +x, passed vm_check. He added that it will be up to Saurik to add support for winterboard. You can download the new purplera1n here, and get instructions here.

I ran into a few minor snags but it did work. I now have 3GS jailbroken goodness :-)

Thanks, Geohot!

Jailbreaking has never been simpler! Took less than 2 minutes. I'm installing Cydia as I speak which has taken 2 minutes so far and is still going, but hopefully it won't be much longer.
