subject: Samba - easier to set-up ver?

Has Samba gotten any easier to set up over the past couple of years?  I 
tried setting it up 2 or 3 years ago so that my Windows and DOS boxes
could share drive space and a printer with the Linux box.  However, Samba
was too complicated to set up for the average home user (i.e. one that
does not have a bunch of time to waste in front of a PC ).
 
I was wondering if there had been any advances on that front.  Setting
up two Windows boxes to talk in SMB is so easy, I am a little suprised
that Samba makes it so complicated.  A wizard, or even a simple text-only
setup program, would be nice.
 
Thanks!
Mike
