Hello, I managed to install single boot Ubuntu on Mac Mini 4.1 according to this how-to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation. After selecting the "nomodeset" option when booting the Ubuntu Live-CD I installed Ubuntu on hard disk. Trying to boot the installed Ubuntu from the hard disk failed (ending up with a black screen soon after booting). I tried to bring up Grub menu when booting from the hard disk and set the "nomodeset" option with no success. I therefore booted from CD again and mounted the partition with Ubuntu on it. Then I made the "nomodeset" option permanent in the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg. After this I could boot Ubuntu from my hard disk.
I enjoy now Ubuntu signle boot on Mac Mini. 4.1 but nevertheless I'll go for the dual-boot option and stick with it until 10.10 with rumored EFI support will come up.
