Kali is a distro for information security folks, so you should be able to figure it out. Here is some help to get started.

To install, download crouton and open a shell:

Hit CTL - ALT - T

Type shell at the prompt.

Enter the following command:

sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r kali-rolling -t xfce

To install the old release, enter this:

sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r sana -t xfce

xfce is the preferred desktop, use others at your own risk.

To enter your Kali chroot type the following:

sudo enter-chroot -n nameofchroot

or start with:

sudo startxfce4 -n nameofchroot

Where nameofchroot is what you named it. (release name by default)

No tools are installed by default to save space. You can easily install anything you need. Here are some examples:

sudo apt-get install nmap

sudo apt-get install metasploit-framework

sudo apt-get install nikto

If you have enough space, you can install the Kali metapackage:

sudo apt-get install kali-linux-full

If you are having issues, try harder, it's the hacker way. If that doesn't work, use ubuntu. ;)
