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. >>> easy.

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.
