Yes, Samba will work without a Windows computer. This is what
Ubuntu's GUI sharing utilities use underneath.
While it has the config GUIs, Samba is a woefully inefficient
protocol, so I don't use it myself. Most of the time I just use SSH,
with Nautilus' "Connect to Server" GVFS connections. That's about as
easy to set up as it can get - install ssh. I've also tinkered with
NFS, which works well too.
