Hey dude,

 Its better you use the normal version of Ubuntu if you are new to Ubuntu.But since You have only 128mb of ram it wouldn't support as you need minimum of 256 mb of ram.So you can try xubuntu or fluxubuntu.

You can get rid of your Windows XP pro by just formating your Hard Disk.That can be done while installing one of the versions of Ubuntu as you will shown with a partition editor.There you can just format your Windows XP pro and install the ubuntu os.

OR...

Use the Alternative cd and at the Ubuntu installation screen hit 'F4' and select "Command Line Install". This will install a minimum of packages and (I'm guessing) the text install will use less memory than running the live cd installation. At that point you can use aptitude to install your choice of Window Manager / Desktop Environment...
