ubuntu.com has a very straightforward, simple walkthrough on how to set
up Samba. You basically have to edit one file '/etc/samba/smb.conf' with
the relevant details of which directories, printers & so on that you
want to share then restart Samba via either '/etc/init.d' or 'service '
(I can't remember which) & you're good to go.

Either search for 'samba + ubuntu' on Google or got to ubuntu.com &
search for samba there.

Cheers,
