Then what?

That starts the two services.

The config files for apache are in /etc/httpd/ I believe.
I dont know where the NFS files are as I have never used it.

The Apache web root is /var/www/htdocs in RedHat I think, but I havn't used apache in RH8 yet so I don't know.

What exactly do you want to know, How to start these service or how to use them?

I suggest looking at the man pages and the docs online.

I would like to know how to use this stuff.  Actually I am most interested in using ftp and samba.

NFS exports are defined in /etc/exports. See 'man exports'.

Will this crap work behind my router?

If you have the admin password for the router, then yes.

Just set up port forwarding on the required server ports.

As for actually using the servers; head to the bookstore, their respective homepages and google.
