What is Eb tuning? How do you tune your guitar to that sound? Please let me know. Thanks.

That's that same as tuning a half step down.....

Each string is tuned flat, one half step (1 fret).

Yep, again. If you're already in standard tuning, you could tune your big E to the A string, 6th fret and the lil E to B string, 4th fret, and tune the rest of the strings like normal to those...yet be aware of your strings stretching and wanting to go back to the previous tension. You can get it perfect, and then like 15 secs later, the string is sharp again. It just takes a little while for them to adjust. So obviously some kind of reference is helpful, be that a tuner or a cd of somebody you know is tuned that way. Slayer almost exclusively tunes that way, as well as SRV did pretty frequently.
