What file organization method is used by Linux?
Linux uses a unified filesystem structure that complies with the filesystem hierarchy standard, which, while not always immediately intuitive, is designed to make it an easier task of locating specific files on the system manually, and also to allow software written for it to be able to predict where its needed files are kept.
When should you specify an ex2 filesystem instead of ext3 when installing Linux?
Only when sharing the filesystem with another Linux system that uses an older filesystem such as ext2.
What is the standard Linux file system?

What is the maximum character Linux supports in its file name?
This is dependent on what filesystem is in use. The de facto standard filesystem in Linux is ext4, which supports up to 255 characters on its filenames. But if you are using something else it's better to look it up on Wikipedia.
What does it mean when a hard drive is mounted in a Linux operating system?
Linux is an operating system much like Microsoft Windows is. What mounting on this system mean is an additional filesystem was attached to the existing filesystem.
How long can a file name in Linux be?
This is fiercely dependent on your filesystem, but since the de facto standard filesystem for now is ext4, the typical maximum is 255 characters. It's not going to be practical to go over every filesystem Linux supports, so I'll just say read the manual.
What is the space limit of Linux?
There is none. Oh, sure, various filesystems have their limits, but Linux isn't limited to the use of just one filesystem.
