People have been successful in installing (dual or triple booting)
Linux on Macbook (Pros) and the Mini too. You can find more information
about the topic from the links below:

I tried installing Debian on a 1GB USB key and was able to boot from it
too. I used the method of installing the eRFIt on the USB key and did
the partitioning on the key. The Mac HDD was untouched. The main
problem, which I haven't had the time to look into yet, is that X didn't
start. It is probably due to the graphics drivers being used, but I do
know for sure that Debian runs on it. You can also find general
information about linux on mac-intel machines on
http://macintel-linux.org (site not opening for me right now).
Good luck.
