NFS and SMB at the same time?

[ViolentMonk]

hello I have my pi using smb to share files but can I just try installing nfs without having smb messed with or do I have to turn it off or remove it?

You can use SMB and NFS alongside each other quite happily.

I don't use my Pi for it, but do have a Debian Linux PC that has a disk shared via SMB (for my wife's WinXP PC), and also NFS for my Linux laptop

Yes, they can co-exist happily. Install NFS on the RPi as you would any Debian (-based) distro. Several online tutorials exist, including this one: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/nfs.htm

what is your /etc/exports supposed to look like? /etc/exports
/home 195.12.32.2(rw,no_root_squash) home(ro)
/usr 195.12.32.2/24(rw,insecure)
it keeps saying the files and directories don't exist. how am I actually suppose to set up the exports? also a lot of that page doesn't work.

/home 195.12.32.2(rw,no_root_squash) home(ro)

May be, you've understood the examples in a wrong way?
The line means:
export your directory /home to a machine 195.12.32.2 with options rw,no_root_squash and export it to another PC called home with option ro
