Use df command to report file system disk space usage (parition wise):
Code:
df -H
Just use my tutorial to get information about TOTAL hard disk size, hard disk partition size in Mega bytes etc

Purchase a book called Linux in Nutshell but best way to learn linux is install on your Desktop and search using google for specific topics. Also consider using Linux documentation site http://www.tldp.org
