You can also check in your Job's configs with some smart .gitignore (or whatever your choice of SCM is) and use the %JENKINS_HOME% as a checked in and versioned directory in the SCM of your choice.

Job config's are OS independent, though the job itself might have OS specific scripts (if you use a shell script instead of a mvn pom file / ant build.xml).

Then you can just check out your checked in job repo to the new linux host's $jenkins_home directory and start up jenkins. all your jobs should be found and added to your linux jenkins (with out the need for a plugin).

Generally speaking... the less plugins, the more stable your Jenkins install will be.

The safest solution is to use the Job Import plugin.

Install this plugin on the Linux server, and next import the job from the Windows Jenkins URL :)
