I haven't installed linux on any mac. The hardware of the new macs is very 
similar to PCs (with the exception of EFI) so I would expect it not to be very hard.

After some googling I couldn't find any step by step tutorials for installing 
linux on the new iMacs, but there are a bunch of how-tos for the macbook which 
is essentially the same thing as imac. You can find these here:

Linux supposedly does support EFI so using bootcamp should not be necessary. 
Although I am not sure if any distros package it yet.

Keep us posted, I and probably a lot of other people would love to hear your 
progress.
