Another alternative for running a Linux environment from Windows is the Free (GPL'd) qemu tool (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/), which runs under Linux, Mac OS/X, Windows, and OpenSolaris (and probably others). You can find several pre-configured Linux images for qemu on my web site: http://wanderinghorse.net/computing/qemu/ Simply download an image and open it with qemu and you're all set. You may need to install Apache and whatnot, but for some images (e.g. Debian) that is trivial as long as the qemu network emulation is working (it normally does). :D
