Re: Intel Mac (Mactel) FAQ
I hope this is appropriate thread to ask.
Is it possible to install Ubuntu on Macbook (I have 2,1 Macbook, I think, 2.1Core2Duo, Intel, black, 1G RAM, bought in summer 2007) without installing OS X?
As far as I figured out, EFI partition is something that must exist, but still don't get all things.
Thank You in advance for any kind of answer.

You do not have to have a GPT formatted disk. (i.e. don't have to have the EFI partition.)
The second topic in the FAQ deals with how you can install:

Re: Intel Mac (Mactel) FAQ
I have managed to install only Ubuntu on macbook. Problem was that I was constantly trying to install Ubuntu on some partition scheme that wasn't good. Then I made new partition scheme by selecting msdos type, and then normally made partitions from installer, and everything works like a charm.
There's, dough, that problem with ~30 sec grey screen before GRUB shows up when booting system, but I can live with that. :-)

There is also a question about that. You need to bless the Ubuntu partition.
Re: Intel Mac (Mactel) FAQ
How do you mean "bless it"? Bring a priest? :-D Kidding, of course. Any tutorial how to do that, maybe?

please read the installation wiki:

I don't know how it will interact with Windows 7 since it is still a beta OS
