I'm not sure about macs, but when I've installed ubuntu on pcs you put the ubuuntu cd in the drive, boot off the cd drive. Once it boots you should have an install icon on the desktop. Double click that and follow the instructions.
imho ubuntu and os x are similar in terms of looks and ease of use.
