You can try with Ubuntu... It should work fine.. But I guess they have some Dvd issue or something in Mac..

Ask a Mac user about it cause I guess the installation process regarding boot and swap disk space will be different in Snow Leopard..

You can try it using Bootcamp. Though, I'm not using it this way.
I have installed Windows also. So, installed it in Windows Partition. In all, I'm running a triple-boot :)

All the best !

The issue is with the headphone jack. But I found the solution and was featured on OMGUBUNTU.co.uk for this :)

yes botcamp allows u too natively install another os! alternatively u can use emulator such as vmware fusion !

i use vmware fusion and it works fine!

u can get free download from www.marius-design.com

additionally u can get help from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro

@adwait sharma-

i have a problem with my airPort in Linux 10(Natty Narwahal)....I searched the net too. They say, drivers for AirPort on Linux were never released. I cant use net on my Linux Macbook. Linux without inernet is ***, you know what i mean...
