What do I need to know before I buy new forks?

A question from a relative noob. I want to replace the front suspension on my commuter / utility bike with a rigid fork. What do I need to know before I purchase the new forks (probably online / used)? IE: what are the variable sizes / measurements I need to be concerned with. The bike is an old Kona with Marzocchi front suspension.

My guess is that there is a hub size that is different between road bikes and mtb's as well as a head tube size variable. Am I right? Anything else I need to consider? I'd like to keep costs to a minimum and reuse existing brakes, wheels, etc.

Any info is appreciated
