There is some talk about the default changing, but that's the way it is
for now.

Any machine with write access to the archive registered should be fine.

Good luck. You might check out the bazaar project
(http://bazaar.canonical.com). It is designed to have a little bit
friendlier interface. Make sure you get the development packages for
libneon, such as neon-devel. Bazaar requires it as a system package, and
doesn't detect if it's missing (at least the last time I built bazaar.)
