Local Network WinXP - Linux: share printer and files


Hi. I've five computers at home, three for my familiar (WinXP), one for me (WinXP & OpenSuse 10.2), one old (Debian coming soon), connected via a router ADSL (one wired, wireless the other). I've created (no too hard, sincerly... ) a local network between WinXP pc's. I only need Domain name and Host names. The problem now is to introduce Linux in this little network. Note: I don't have a server, it is a star network. I don't know if a server is necessary, useful or useless. I only want network make me able to share files and printer (like SharedFolder and Shared Printer in Windows). Printer is USB, it has also a LAN input, but router haven't another LAN... :|

Can you help me?

Thx
Nik
