204800 / 1024 KBytes = 200MB
this is the soft limit. The hard limit is the second number (250MB in this case) This assumes a block size of 1024 Bytes (1KB). The exact numbers may be wrong but you get the picture.

You should try to google your way out. Look for example at

for more detailed isntructions for suse

You must have quota support on your file system
for debian
apt-get install quota quotatool

then in your fstab (/etc/fstab) you must enable quota on the file system
find in this file where your home directory is mounted and add
usrquota,grpquota
as parameters
for example
/dev/sdb1       /home  ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota,acl 0 3

Then, for each user you want to set quota, you have to issue the
following command
setquota USERNAME 204800 256000 0 0 /home

the numbers indicate a 200MB quota. See man setquota for details
