Sure, it CAN be done with samba, but NFS would be more appropriate for Linux
to Linux sharing. The setup is not particularly difficult, and you aren't
relying on the smb protocol (that other unix flavors can't take advantage of
easily, either)
In a nutshell:
run nfsd
edit /etc/exports to include the areas you want to share (/ would be bad ;-)
at the client end, mount <nfsservername>:export <mountpoint>
