How to share a hard drive?

I have set up a Red Hat box running IP Masq on my home network. We have
three other computers running off that and would like to be able to have
a "common drive" between them that resides on the Red Hat machine.
I have a 2.5 GB Fat32 partition on the Red Hat box set aside for this.
My question is, what is the best way to do it? The other machines run
Windows if that makes a difference. Would I have to use Samba? Is this
possible? Is the earth round?
I read the Samba man page(s) a bit but I thought I'd ask here and see if
that is the best solution or if there is an easier way.
Thanks
