Is bzr *appropriate* and *ready* for me?

... or maybe the question should be: Am I ready for bzr?

(long post)

Hi all,
	I've been wandering around the web these last days collecting info
regarding SCM tools, and I've found so many options that I feel lost
right now. I have used subversion for the last year or so, with very
small stuff I've worked on. So far I worked alone on these projects, but
from two different places (home & university), so the compelling reason
to use an SCM was *both* to be able to follow back my own footsteps and
to sync the work done from these two places easier.
	I started looking into distributed SCMs 'cause I've read somewhere that
you gain in flexibility, and because you don't rely on (exclusively) on
having a central repository available online. I am not even sure I
*need* a distributed SCM, being the only one working in my projects.
Then I thought that someone more experienced could probably guide me on
that, and so here are some questions:
	1. Do I need to switch from subversion? Typical use *now* is: I store
the repository at home (I have a dsl line), and checkout and commit to
my projects both from home and from university. Most of the time the
work is on the same stuff but just from two different places, i.e. I
continue the work at home where I left it at university. I don't do much
branching and other stuff, I work on the *head* most of the time.
Exceptions are when I have a demo scheduled or smthg like that, where I
freeze the work in a working state and continue trying improvement, etc.
Complementary data: I program usually in C++, don't have much clue about
python and although I am keen on fidling with stuff, I don't consider
myself "strong" regarding programming.
	2. If above answer is yes, is bzr the right choice? I know this might
seem like the wrong place to ask for an unbiased answer to this, but I
am willing to try. Complementary data for answering: I am doing a Ph.D
and I will start writing my thesis sometime soon. I plan to use SCM for
helping me with the task (besides some programming that goes in line
with the thesis). What I'd like is something I can rely on, that would't
  turn my valuable stuff into crap in 8 months cause there has been some
change in design or bug, etc.; that has reasonably good documentation
(at least for the basic stuff, I will probably underuse any SCM); good
community support (I am pretty confident in this viewing the activity on
this list).
	3. If the answer to (2) is also yes, what do you think would be a good
way of using bzr considering my needs?

I realize this has turned out a very long message, I wouldn't blame he
who stopped reading long ago... Anyway, If you get here and can answer
some of the above, many thanks.
