"Upgrade" Debian to Ubuntu?


If Ubuntu is based off of Debian, is there a way to "upgrade" a debian box to Ubuntu?

If not, how do you "format C:\" in Linux?

Thank you

No.

You want to make your entire hard drive Ubuntu? Or you want to do a dual boot with Windows? If you want to make your entire hard drive Ubuntu, just pop the Ubuntu installer CD and when you get to the partitioning part of the install, select "Erase Entire Hard Drive."

If you want to do a dual boot, follow this guide:
