I have used the same method as Dugly with good results.

For the collection of the old fluid, I use a clean plastic bottle that I tape to a piece of wood, then tape the clear hose to the bottle. This reduces the chance of the bottle being tipped over or the hose coming out, splattering brake fluid all over.

Be sure to keep an eye on the reservoir, if it runs dry you have to start over. Keep the lid on the brake fluid bottle after filling the reservoir, again it's easy to knock it over (and what a mess).

A good box end wrench is very helpful for opening and closing the bleed nipple, and don't forget the dust covers. Seems like getting things setup takes longer than the actual job.
