Installing plain Ubuntu without dual booting MS-Windows is not really much
different than those instructions.  You just use an plain Ubuntu install disk 
instead of the XUbuntu install disk (XUbuntu is just a variant that installs 
one of the alternitive GUI Desktop versions of Ubuntu).  Instead of preserving 
the MS-Windows partitions, you just delete them -- eg let the installer 
overwrite them with a new set of Ubuntu partitions.
