I'd check Knoppix and/or KUbuntu (that's Ubuntu with KDE). Both are live
CD's so you can check and use the system without compromising your box.
I prefer Knoppix, but it's a personal choice.

Maybe if you are a 'power user' you might need to do that. Or if there
is an extremely grave fuck up in your machine. Then, is Wds you would
need to call an expert with his special soft tools. But if you are Joe
Average then you don't need to touch that kind of stuff. Besides that,
Joe Average is not interested in starting/stoping services, neither in
Wds nor in Linux. And I guess it is easier doing it in Linux. Anyway you
should make up your own mind checking the aforementioned distros, they
can be downloaded in a few minutes, then you burn a cd and voilà, there
you go.
