I have a dell laptop running WindowsVista and want to wipe the HDD clean and install a Linux OS. What's the best way to do this?

Obtain a Linux distro of your choice
Burn it to a DVD
Boot from the DVD
During the install process, it will ask what partition to use, or to use the whole disk
Choose "use entire disk"
That will blow away anything and everything on the drive.
