Installing Ubuntu on an Asus Eee 1001PX

[bokopperud]

I'd like to install Ubuntu (probably netbook or eeebuntu) on an Asus (Eee) 1001PX with WindowsXP pre-installed. There are four partitions used on the disk (from the factory), and I assume one is for recovery (re-installing Windows) and one has some recovery tools.

My initial plan is to just remove everything, repartition the disk and install Linux... But I'm wondering if that's safe, or does any of the partitions contain something I absolutely need and must leave alone?

I would leave the recovery partition alone, just in case. It's up to you.
