Booting Ubuntu on new Intel Macs...?

[Linux BASHer]

I don't own one myself, nor will I soon, probably. But, I was wondering if this can already be done, or will be an option in the future. The Intel Macs use EFI (http://www.intel.com/technology/efi/) instead of a BIOS, so I do not belive they will readily boot other OSes which rely on a BIOS. I've seen this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/elilo/ but am not sure if this would allow Ubuntu to boot.

I'm not really certain whether installing Ubuntu would work on not, but I've read that they can boot Windows using some sort of BIOS emulation mode. Not real clear on the details, but I would imagine that a Linux boot shouldn't be too big a deal.
