What you need to do is hold down the key C when the machine is booting. As soon as you here the mac boot sound. Then if you know enough about linux just follow the directions. I am personally a fan of custom installing so that I can set up my partition scheme the way I feel best, etc etc.

Let me know if you need more help. The yellowdog site should help out too.
