You can uninstall *ANY* OS by reformatting the partition that it is on.

To do just that in Win2K, Admin Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management.

When you install Linux, you *should* have the option where LILO (the LInux LOader) would reside. If you put LILO on the Linux partition, you can then use BootPart (from www.winimage.com) to add Linux to the Win2K boot loader menu.

To delete Linux from the menu, remove the associated line in C:\boot.ini. You can also delete the 512K file referenced in the line you deleted.
