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.

sure take samba advice from someone who 'doesn't touch samba' - makes
sense to me.
