Probably quite easy, just burn a install disc, then boot from it by
holding down c during power up. Be aware if it's 8 years old then the
CPU may be a Core Duo, that means 32-bit only - no x86_64. See

At 8 years old, even Macbooks have pretty good drivers on Linux. To be
sure try it with a live CD/DVD e.g. https://www.debian.org/CD/live/
