Ubuntu will definitely be easier. It has new-enough lxc version, plus
you won't have selinux fiasco (search the list archive for details).

Sure you can.

It that setup, both the host (the example assumes ubuntu host) and the
containers which uses that bridge will be on the same LAN, getting IP
address from the same DHCP server (whatever that is) on that network.
