How To Install Kali Linux (or Debian) on Macbook Air (Original 2008 Model) Recently got an old macbook air 2008 model. I am a linux guy and I am very new to Mac OS X. I tried but I just prefer to have my familiar debian running on this laptop. On a PC I would do this easily, but Mac is a different story.

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to run Kali Linux (Debian 6) on the original Macbook Air (proper installation, not on a virtual machine on Mac OS X) and if yes, how?
GUI
You can use the native OS X Disk Utility.app to split, resize, create &amp; remove partitions as desired.
CLI
If you prefer to work with a UNIX-style bash shell, there are tools available via OS X's native Terminal.app command-line interface.

One of these would be a good start:
root@host:~# diskutil
root@host:~# diskutil list
root@host:~# diskutil listFileystems
root@host:~# diskutil activity

Once you have a bit of info, you might want a few of these:
root@host:~# diskutil splitPartition
root@host:~# diskutil resizeVolume
root@host:~# diskutil eraseDisk
root@host:~# diskutil eraseVolume  

Boot from your installation media by holding the alt/⌥ option key during startup.
