Does Linux support disk quotas? I would like to replace my NT file
server with Linux running Samba because my users abuse the disk space.
I would also like to limit the disk space based on NT account, hence the
need for Samba. The third party tools for NT disk quotas is beyond my
budget. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Linux does support quotas :) right out of the box. There are several
faqs available and the commercial products have support for you to
access help on configuring it also.
