This means if another blog links to a post here, it ought to ping the WordPress installation adding a brief excerpt as a comment on the relevant post (N.B. It only applies when linking to a specific post, not the whole site). Similarly when you link to another post, WordPress does the same thing leaving a short extract from your post in the other blog's comments. This drives traffic between blogs and lets authors know who else is referring to them, which is why it's considered good. This is all under the "Discussion" section of the "Options" tab in WordPress and is currently all switched on, so I can confirm you have met your goal of making full use of trackbacks!
