Make sure you've got the ssh server installed in ubuntu (on the
ubuntu-iMac). Then do Alt-F2 and type "ssh://192.168.Y.XXX/home" (with Y
and XXX replaced by your imac's ip address (find this by clicking on the
network icon on the panel and going to the details pane). Then browse
around until you find the files you want, and copy them to wherever you
like.

Once you get OS/X installed, enable the remote console or whatever it's
called (effectively, turn on ssh). Now do the same thing on the ubuntu
box: Alt-F2 and type "ssh://192.168.Y.XXX". Browse to your home folder
and copy the files back.

I've made this easier on myself by installing the avahi-daemon package,
so I can browse to ssh://phoenix.local and ssh://flambe.local (two
ubuntu machines on my network). OS/X calls this Bonjour or rendezvous.
