Personally, and this might just be down to my history, I always default
to NFS, and resort to Samba if Windows hosts are involved. NFS is
vastly simpler to set up than Samba, and generally easier to
troubleshoot.

Alan's earlier email is pretty much it, on the server you list
in /etc/exports those directories you'd like to share (or, in nfs
lingo, export), restart the nfs server, and then on the client you
mount them as you would anything else, via mount or /etc/fstab.

There are also many, many tutorials on it on the web.
