[wellylug] Setting up after system failure

My windows XP pro machine died yesterday due to a power problem that 
took out the motherboard and protection devices. To restore services I 
set up a spare machine with Ubuntu 8. So far it does email and web 
browsing very well.

The problem arises with file sharing. I recently published a novel:
http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1382737

Development of it required full file sharing from the W98 
c'reator'machine with the XP Pro ínternet capable machine over NETBEUI. 
Now that the XP system is dead, simple file sharing would make a big 
difference in the office.

Is there yet a way to do that on a Ubuntu system?
