Nope, I tried the 64-bit version and it didn't work. There are two disk to select at the startup screen. One of them just displays a blinking cursor. The other one has a menu with options for trying or installing Linux, but when I choose "try Linux" the screen just goes blank.

Did anyone else go through this process with a MacBook Pro?

Does that disk have EFI boot support built in? As that is the only way it will boot on a Mac, most use the El Torito/Syslinux BIOS booting.

Edit: One thing you can try is getting the virtualbox software it will allow you to boot an .iso image of the CD/DVD you downloaded and if wanted you can install the OS in a virtual one on your macbook pro.

I'm not sure what "EFI boot support" is. I should note that I *am* able to boot 10.04, but it does not have the QT library installed.
