as the Mumbai university has interoduced a subject called unix in C in the first year of engineering, our college ( Fr CRCE bandra) has got new computers (probably PIII with miles of disk space and ample of ram) which would be networked.

now in the first year... there are 5 branches & 60 students per branch.

disk space has to be alloted to these students... for their work.

what would be the most efficient way of doing that ... -please suggest

Well UNIX in C in the first year, that is really good.

Most importantly, you have to do some calculations regarding how much space to be alloted to each user. 5 branches and 60 per branch i.e max 350 users including misc. accounts. Thats not much. Partition /home and keep the max space on this partition so that future need may also suffice.
