For beginners text editor+command line to compile and run programs. For more advanced users (who know what Makefiles, autoconf and such things are - or for beginners who don't need to know) environment right for the language they use. I recommend KDevelop, but Anjuta is also good and simplier, so it may be a better choice for the first time. You can have both installed, so people can later choose.

How would the computers need to be set up in order to connect through OS X samba-enabled shares?
|
It depends what you mean by that. When the machines will be clients only, no special setup is needed.

Are samba volumes mountable from the gui while being a non-root user?
|
Yes. KDE for example has 'Mount' and 'Unmount' options in right-click menu.

Are samba volumes unmounted upon logout?
|
By default I think they aren't. But it's possible to set up script at logout to do this.

What about printers on the network? Will it be easy to set linux up to print on these?

Printers need to be configured, but it shouldn't be hard.
