I've never used Distiller; is it more than a Postscript-to-PDF converter? The free ps2pdf is part of ghostscript.
It is just a ps to pdf converter, but it generates better PDFs than ps2pdf (that is, smaller, better font handling, etc).
In recent ghostscript version, ps2pdf has become much better than it used to be. And for LaTeX stuff you can totally avoid PostScript by using pdflatex, which should be part of every good TeX distribution these days.
