   You can download the live cd online here(or request some to be shipped to you absolutely FREE!)

   http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

   then burn the ISO to a blank CD with Nero or any burning software, then when its done restart the computer with the CD in and Ubuntu should load up. For help installing with dual boot and any other questions go her

   Hope that helps some.

   1.Get the Live CD first of all. I will recommend ordering one, because most of the time the download is bad. You can order free Ubuntu CDs here:
   http://shipit.ubuntu.com/

   2.Get to your BIOS and make sure that the system boots from the CD – ROM first (make changes in Boot Order) .

   3.Insert the CD and restart your system. It will run and from thereon it will be a cakewalk for you. The installation is completely GUI style and you won’t have any troubles at all. The Ubuntu installer will automatically detect other OS s (Macintosh in your case) and will create a Grub Boot Loader. With it, you can choose to start either Ubuntu or Macintosh while the system starts.

   I (Windows user) am also trying out Ubuntu, and I don’t think it’s great. It’s certainly amazing for free (with LOADS of very useful software), but you have to learn a lot of commands if you want to fully utilize it. They are very irritating. Still go for it!!

   —THIS TUTORIAL IS NO LONGER A WORK IN PROGRESS—

   first open this link in new window… http://www.ubuntu.com

   click download now at the top of screen.

   Or simply click here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

   Then Choose 7.04

   and your PC

   and click download and you region
   3hours later (@ 128kbps)

   extract the ISO image with…
   CD burner XP pro http://www.download.com/CDBurnerXP-Pro/3000-2646_4-10409086.html

   OR with a different program to the CD

   then Restart your PC
   in the second screen press “delete”
   when you see a blue (default) screen go to the top left of the screen and click it .

   then go to ‘boot sequence’ and press ‘Page up’
   Until it says CD-ROM,A,C
   or CD-ROM,x,y
   making sure x or y has C in place of it

   then press ‘ESC’ then click ‘save to CM-OS’
   type ‘y’ press enter.

   It reboots…

   then insert your boot CD (ubuntu)

   If all goes well you should see a new screen saying UBUNTU..
   If not try again

   click ‘Return/enter’ to boot Linux (CONGRATS)

   It takes a while to boot…

   1min later

   –optional–
   click install and follow the prompts

   or just use that CD
   (when installed ubuntu/Linux goes 10x faster)
