Your last questions were "jieryn makes mention of Jenkins LTS, how do I get this? How do I stop Jenkins "offering" me new versions of Jenkins which aren't stable or aren't LTS?"
Refer to https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/LTS+Release+Line for instructions on how to switch to the long term support release line. Since Jenkins is an open source project, one really great way to help the project is to assist with testing and verification of long term support release candidates. Refer to http://jenkins-ci.org/stable-rc for information on how to get the release candidates, if you're available to assist with testing release candidates for long term support.
