Linux package Installation and Configuration Help!

[Flametongue]

Hello. i have these set of questions that i need to do and so if possible so somehelp me on it and tell me a website that gives me the information about this:

You are to investigate how to set up SAMBA on a Debian Linux system to allow files to be shared with a Windows XP system.

Practice how to set up the system for a named user and allow both access to a file on the Debian system and transfer of a file from the Debian system to the Windows system.

You can assume a basic Debian system will be available and that SAMBA will be available as a deb package on our server systems or given out on suitable media if the server fails for any reason.

The problem is i have never heard of this before so i am stuck!

Thanks
