If you want it to work out of the box, move to Ubuntu.

NFS, ssh, sftp can all be made to work using Cygwin.  We just finished
a thread on that.  There are lots better choices than using SMB, which
is notably vulnerable to hacking.  I've got every damn thing
imaginable sharing every which way, and I don't touch Samba.  I used
to be an expert.  Got tired of fiddling.  My advice: get Microsoft out
of the loop.
