... and configure sharing. In Ubuntu 8.10, it seems this is also as easy as find the directory you want to share in Nautilus, right clicking on it, and selecting "Sharing Options", and following the prompts.

It's the same in Hardy.
Just to clarify; in Hardy (and presumably Intrepid) it's almost exactly the same process as in windows. Find the folder you want to share, right-click on it and select 'sharing options'. You do not even need to install or configure samba in advance, if you don't already have it you'll be prompted for your password and samba will be installed and configured "automagically" for you.
