This procedure will work for LG optimus One Android phone from Koodo (P500h). This may work for other LG Optimus One phones as well, but I have not tested it.
Do not use z4root to root this phone (many people suggested to use this, but didn't work for me at all). The process takes forever without any result.
Download GingerBreak-v1.20.apk (google it, I am sure you will find it). In the application settings, allow installation of non-market applications and enable "USB debugging" in Application settings>Development. Once you install the apk, you will be able to do a "Permanent root" without any fuss.
Please leave a comment, if you have success with any other methods.
If you want to go ahead and install a new ROM (for eg cyanogenMOD 7) instructions are here.

Sitting in my comfy sofa chair and did the root without even moving an inch, almost too simple, did I do anything wrong? Next up to change to cyanogen or not to change, that is the question.
Glad that it worked out pretty well for you. If you don't care about the warranty, I suggest you to install CM7. It will definitely give your Android a new look.
