The simple answer to this is to get samba. That will allow you to make shares available on your Linux box to be viewable in your Network Neighborhood. Depending on what distro you have on your box, do a find for smb.conf. Within that configi file, you'll find everything you need to know about how to setup a basic public share and how to go a little further with that. If you want it up and simple though, change the share access to "share" instead of "user". This isn't nearly as secure but it does do the job. I use it for my students in order to give them a little more storage space....
