NFS is like cifs (windoze file sharing). On my lan it's way faster to
use than cifs to my filer, and plays somewhat nice with various unixes.
You'll really want nfs AND samba for windoze unless you're going to
install nfs for windows or run cygwin.
Exports sets allowances and permissions, hosts.allow/deny set network
port access for services (just define your local network as a whole)
rest is related to local uid/gid. These have to match on your unix
boxen to be effective!
You can run samba for this, Ubuntu, presumably mint, etc have system
gui's for these things. You should probably poke around system settings
for file sharing.
All the init stuff gets setup by apt - don't worry about that much.
When you're done poking at your settings, restart nfs services in init:
sudo service nfs-server restart
(init.d script name may differ - nfs and tab for autocomplete)
-mb
