Everything takes longer than you expect

Slowly but surely, Shit Is Getting Done. A lot of that has to do with finding my motivation again yesterday after a couple of weeks of Bleah, which has allowed some serious whittling of the to-do lists.
On a related note, do any of the Linux users reading this know of a GOOD tutorial for using Samba to share documents and printer access? Everything I'm coming across is either written in Esoterigeek, or doesn't match what I've got. And I feel stupid for not being able to figure it out, because it seems like networking would be one of those things that's a no-brainer, right? Except I don't even know where to start with this one... which computer is the server and which is the client? Or are they both? Do you have to make a new account for the 'other' computer's primary user on the server computer? If not, where is it getting its access list? Obviously just opening everything to the universe isn't helpful...
If it matters, we're running Ubuntu 8.04 and Kubuntu 7.something. I'm happy to ditch 7.x off my machine and upgrade if it simplifies things.
