What advantage is there to root my a500? Where do I go to get directions on how to do it?

The main advantage is increased user control over the device.

I submit that if you don't know the advantages then you don't have any reason to root.

Unless you are having a problem or want to do something specific, rooting for the sake of rooting just brings additional problems.
 
For me, I needed root to be able to tether to the ad-hoc wifi on my phone and to fix GPS latency by editing a system file.
Instructions on how to root A500 with Android 3.2 can be found here.
