yes wait before you go to redn0w and let me figure out what firmware you need to be using.
(I DONT RECOMMEND ANY FIRMWARE HACKS, JUST PROVIDE WAYS OF ACCOMPLISHING TASKS).. I will update this post with the current redsn0w support.
from experience, as long as you stay in firmware guidelines then it will run ok but im not promising it will run as good as your current apple firmware
but redsn0w is 100% the most popular. if you run a youtube or google search it will provide you with answers.
TO BE EDITED

OK you will need to watch this whole video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBCeJ2ENjcc
find your jailbreak file here : http://www.idownloadblog.com/iphone-downloads/
to enter DFU mode it's quite simple. you have to hold down the top power button for a certain amount of time plus the home, just do a quick search and it will explain. sorry I could not be more informative but i'm at work so it makes it hard

Actually jailbreaking is a lot easier than it used to be. You can just go to jailbreakme.com (on your iPhone) and tap jailbreak. It'll automatically download the necessary files and install (the lesser-known app central Cydia) but then you can go through there and download the more known one.

The only reason you jailbreak is to get Cydia really so you have access to repositories. It's pretty much linux. But I have never once had a stable jailbreak when I used to play around with my ipod touch, I wouldn't recommend it. Leaving it stock was best for me. Theres no way I would jailbreak my phone, only my ipod
There's no real reason to jailbreak an iPhone these days anyway.
