I got Ubuntu 11.04 on an Air -- it was more convoluted than I would have liked, but a lot of that is how Apple set it up. The Air won't boot from an external disc unless you're using the Apple-branded drive, which seems a little silly.
The steps were pretty much (a) install refit (b) make a custom USB stick (usbnetbootin doesn't work) (c) create a partition from within OSX (d) install from the usb stick to the partition (e) Do a couple of fixes, such as blessing the correct drive to stop the really slow boot times.
