## 2. Current Status of Quota on Linux

Currently, there are some major changes in the way quota works. There are two different setups. The tools works the same, but there's a difference in used files. This document describes the setup and operation of the _new_ quota setup. As the new setup of quota is not in the regular kernel source, this setup needs some patching. We will describe this patching and installation of the linuxquota package. If you already have the quota software installed on your system, you may or may not have to install this patch and package. You can email me if you have any questions about this. I'll try to include a overview of Linux distro's and it's implications in a later version of this document.
