If you have Mandrake installed, the kernel should already have nfs
included (along with whatever else you need to interact with the local
network). Most other distros should also include this, as far as I know.
To "network neighborhood" your linux machine, you first need to get samba
working (it should already be installed witha default config under
Mandrake) and either use samba commands or ger a gui for it
(LinNeighborhood or Sharity should do the trick). To share files over the
network you'll have to change your samba config which can be done with one
of many guis or by directly editing your /etc/smb.conf file. Good luck.
