At that point, when I use random items inside webmin it (webmin) seems to lock up (the browser simply waits on webmin and never gets a reponse) the OS seems to function but any program I try to run simply won't start, I can't cancel it, I can't log in a new session on the console and networking has shutdown.  I guess you can say it locks?  The only option is a power reset as Ctrl+Alt+Del quits also.  I also ran 'top' to see if I could see anything but it freezes as well.

saw this Q on fedora-list and didn't understand the connection to
webmin. I don't think that users should be storing files on the /
partition and since quotas can only be imposed upon entire partitions,
you should have /home (and possibly /var - depending upon the mail setup
you are using).

Anyway, after getting locked out when you set up quotas, did you boot
into single user mode and look through the logs for hints?
