Use the df command to see the space left on each mounted filesystem.

Use the du -sh command to check how much space the current directory is occupying (if you run this from your home directory, it'll tell you how much space it takes up).

Finally, you can use the quota command (if your box has quotas enabled) to check user quotas.
