Q: how tp setup samba and its requirement?

We are a group of beginners and have been struggling to setup local network
between out windows and linux systems.


I have never really delved into Samba, I do not really comprehend what
the use and purpose of Samba is. If anybody here who has used it could
explain I am open for a short lesson. Does the average linux user need
Samba? Why or why not? Who would, why?
