BleepingComputer.com: deleting xp home for eeebuntu

Hello folkes

i am trying linux eeebuntu i downloaded the .iso file and transfered it to a sd memory card and have been playing with it for a few hours and i like it. i would like to remove XP from this pc and just use this one for the linux. i dont know much about linux only what i have read.
so can i reformat the drive and wipe it clean and then put the memory card back in and boot into eeebuntu and then click the install button? a step by step instructions would be nice
or can i install and have it overwrite XP?
any help is always appreciated.

No expert here by any means but I have a computer
with only Ubuntu 9.04 installed...To do it, while installing
Ubuntu somewhere it asked if it could use the entire disk.
I agreed to that and Windows is gone (or not visible). I
believe Ubuntu just overwrote Windows.

Wait for the experts though..

Thank you joe883

it would be nice if it was that easy i have not tried the full install yet of eeebuntu am still running on the sd memory card.
i would like some more info on this if anyone can add any input.
just really want to get windows out of here and run linux as the main and only OS on this machine

thanks again for all your support
