Just download a Linux distribution, burn the iso to a bootable CD or DVD, pop it into the drive, reboot, and follow the instructions. When asked for information on how you would like your hard drive partitioned be sure to format all the partitions, regardless of the scheme that you select. And here are some good distros. to try. They all have good installation procedures for those new to Linux
