There are several steps. You will have to install Samba and configure it. Linux can be a client or a server. It sounds like you want it to be the server. Once Samba is installed and you have a working configuration, it is a lot like windoze to share a folder. You right click on the folder to be shared. There should be a button called 'Share' Click it, a radio button should be visible to share. You can configure who has access etc.

The tough part is the configuration of Samba.
