Do you mean that you booted from the Linux CD, but did not actually install it to the harddrive?
When you are installing Linux, you can tell it to take over the whole drive (or any portion). This will remove Windows in the process.
Whenever you are running Linux, a terminal is available in at least 2 ways:
1. Look in the menus--eg under "system"--on my Ubuntu, the terminal is called "Konsole", but there are various other names.
2. Type ctrl-alt-F1 (or maybe F2). This will put you in terminal mode. To go back to the GUI: ctrl-alt-F7
