Hi Peter,
Any of the current leading distros would probably suffice, and they will automatically delete Win98 during the install if you tell them to. Check out distros here,

I'm running Mandrake 10.1 Official on my Averatec 5400, dual booted with win XP, After about 8 months or so no problems. I very rarely use the XP partition.

i don't recommand deleting windows completely,since you're new to linux, my suggestion is to get a LiveCD distro like knoppix or ubuntu, these are only the major LiveCD distros, there many more, once you get your feet wet, feel free to get rid of that virus called windows
