As per the guide, I tried to root my Phone, but I encountered a problem with regards to the installation of adb and other drivers, which I cannot download and install on my Computer. My Computer OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Is it a problem to download the required drivers etc with my OS?

Check Dalsan linksGoogle USB Driverhttp://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.htmlIf you're developing on Mac OS X or Linux, then you do not need to install a USB driver.

For Linux, you do not need any drivers for adb; instead, you have to add the udev rules to your computer to allow the USB debugging connection to Linux. More information can be found here: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html and/or here: http://esausilva.com/2010/05/13/setting-up-adbusb-drivers-for-android-devices-in-linux-ubuntu/. Sorry I missed that previously.
