I always backup even though I know what I am doing.. its always advisable to backup in itunes before attempting anything even though jailbreaking is safe its always good to make sure you backup so just open itunes and press sync and this will backup your phone to itunes or do so in the cloud if you do it that way. also it might be worth reading a tutorial a few times just to get familiar with the process until you feel comfortable trying it on your phone..

You can look up previous firmware tutorials on how to jailbreak with absinthe and see how its done but there will be another posted for 5.1.1 at some point also.

Could I ask a question? I'm not sure if this has been asked before though. If I'm already on 5.0.1 (iPhone 4), is there any point upgrading to the 5.1.1 or should I just stay on 5.0.1?

yes it has been asked, in fact its one of the most commonly asked questions, and the answer is yes upgrade to 5.1.1 unless you rely on unlock

good! I had no trouble downloading all versions either (win,linux and osx) so I dont think the site will crash too soon But in case any one has problems I have provided download links for all versions on rapidshare and a quick text tutorial taken from the greenpois0n site

I downloaded Absinthe, gotta try this. This is my first iPhone and I've only had it for a month so I'm a bit nervous. I've backed up with iCloud and iTunes. Here goes nothing!

it looks like so far there is no real traffic crashing the GP site so the links hopefully wont be needed but just in case.

it is going to be a busy weekend jailbreaking and re downloading all those sweet cydia tweaks..

enjoy

Well, the jailbreaking didn't work for me. I followed the instructions on greenpois0n exactly and have tried 4 times.

EDIT: it seems others are having the same issue.

Well sadly it seems a lot of people are having trouble - reported in both this and the Absinthe 2.0 Is Here thread. Lots of error messages. Hope they didn't mess this one up. They usually update the jailbreak tool real quickly when there's an issue. But pod2 and all the gang are at this conference.. Oy..
