Adam Olsen reminds me that bzr 1.9 won't be supported by default in  
Ubuntu until Jaunty in April and Thomas reminds me that Debian still  
just has 1.5.

In both those cases, you can use the PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/ppa

For Ubuntu machines, pick the distro version that's most appropriate.   
For Debian lenny, I use the Hardy PPA which seems to work fine.

Gentoo gives me 1.12 and MacPorts gives me 1.11.  I can't check any  
other distros.
