Is this a PPC mac or an Intel based Mac?  If it is intel based you should be able to use
Apple's boot camp to install the i386 Edubuntu.  If it is a PPC based mac you should be
able to download a PPC image from here:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/edubuntu/ports/releases/7.04/release/

The first link lists the Mac PowerPC desktop CD.

If your mac is older and does not have a PPC G3 or better processor you are most likely
out of luck.
