I'm on a router with a couple of other guys. Is it possible to limit how much bandwidth they use?

AFAIK you'll need hardware that's substantially more sophisticated than a standard router.

Although, I'm sure there's a way to setup a linux server to limit bandwidth to certain workstations on the network.

This was discussed on Tom's Hardware:

They come to the same conclusion that I do. A stock router does not give you the option of limiting bandwidth by ip. So you can flash modded firmware to a linksys WRT54G or you can setup a very cheap linux server.

OR if you find that they're hogging bandwidth on P2P or torrents, then disable the ports.

I'm very surprised by that... how would go about limiting bandwidth to individual users with you out-of-the-box WRT54G?

For that kind of functionality you need to flash to the Alchemy Firmware... AFAIK.
