Keen to test out root kits

[Patrick Fong <patfong () ihug com au>]

Hi

I am keen to test out root kits on my lap-top. I've just discovered 
http://www.rootkit.com. Is it safe to install rootkits on my lap-top and 
it is not an opportunity for the writer to get back door access to my 
lap-top / home network?

What other stuff can I try with the rootkits?

Cheers
Patrick
