It's dead simple to install mame on Ubuntu 8.10. I just did it in about 5 minutes. Installing Ubuntu will take you longer due to size but it's actually easier than installing Windows (no activation key to find or forge). Once Ubuntu is installed you can install mame:
1. Applications > Add/Remove
2. Search for mame
3. Select Kxmame and Click 'Apply Changes'.
4. You're done. You'll find it in the Applications menu under 'Games'.
You'll have to find the roms by other means though as they're not considered free software.
