Not sure what you need to do with Samba, but I found this article very helpful:
http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2002/0318.linuxcorp.html
In particular, it mentions the GUI programs GnoSamba (mildy useful) and LinNeighborhood (extremely useful). The LinNeighborhood link is here:

I think that the only think I needed to change in the default smb.conf was my WorkGroup. Then I fired up LinNeighborhood and could see my entire department's network just fine. Printing to network printers is another story...

What? I am but a mere infant to Linux. I really don't understand what you just said.
I typed in ssh-X root@localhost in the shell konsole and get an error message "ssh-X command not found". I typed in root@localhost---same results. Why does this stuff have to be so hard? I can't even copy the results by hightlighting. Isin't there some graphical user interface that will give me the same results?
It's as if I am taking one step foward then two steps back. This is driving me crazy. And to beat all, I haven't even begun to set up samba.
I guess that I am so used to window$ and the way it works. I feel like I'm learning to use computers all over again.
