i've only used nfs for linux-to-linux networking. i use samba only for 
the windows boxes. i can't comment on using samba for linux-to-linux 
shares. however, if you want to try nfs, you just share the directories 
by changing the contents of /etc/exports. then, make sure nfs is running 
on the machine sharing the directory. then in /etc/fstab on the client, 
mount the server directory as "192.168.0.1:/var/videos". that should do it.

see this for more info:
