I am planning to wipe Windows ME off a Dell box I purchased and install
Win 2000. After that, install RH Linux and begin the dual boot adventure.

What is the cleanest and most efficient way to wipe a OS off a PC and
ready it for another OS install? Tips and pointers to info would be
appreciated.

Given my experience with ME, I really want to take the PC into a big
grassy field and shot it, but that does not fall under the "cleanest" and
"efficient" categories. "Damn emotionally satisfying" category yes.

TIA,
Kate
