I'm kinda new at all this, and - I must say - have been experiencing my share of frustration with getting things to work: Samba being no exception. Whilst perhaps a GUI might be a good solution, I think a straight-forward, do-this,-then-do-that type of tutorial - unencumbered by the history of SMB and the future of Microsoft or the vagaries of the whole OSI thingie - would make me happy enough to where I could forgo the GUI. Give me one really good example, some sample lines of code to copy and past into a file or into the terminal that actually works... hey, that would work for ME!

I certainly don't expect - or even *want* - Linux to be like Windows... I just want it to work, and I realize that in order for it to work, there's some stuff I need to understand... so I want explanations that make sense to me. I feel that in that way, it will help me become better acquainted with this brilliant piece of work called Linux.
