Have you ever heard of the NAG? Network administrators guide written
by Olaf Kirch? It's one of hte first LDP documents that nowadays is
available in printed form, too. Published by O'Reillys iirc.

Why not installing Samba on the Linux machine? That would be easier to
maintaine and faster.

6 machines? That normaly can be handle by 10Base2. If you want to make
it failsafe, use a HUB, of course, $100 for an 8 port hub, so that's no
cost.

Doh, you're lacking basic networking knowledge.
10Base2 = Coax cable = Coax cable with BNC connnectors
10BaseT = UTP = Unshielded Twisted Pair = TP cable with RJ45 connectors.
