It depends wildly on the phone, but the xda forums and the CyanogenMod
wiki should both have pretty much the full set of details you need.  I
never needed anything other than Linux, or a Mac, to root the phones I
had access to.  For the newest models, of course, it could be that the
tools have not yet been developed though; I usually buy behind the
curve enough that I have no great trouble.
