Hi NG

I am wondering what the most popular network monitoring tool is for linux. 
I am running mandrake 8.2 and prefer GUI proggies as I am not comfortable 
(yet) with the command line.

My two home pc's access the internet via my linux box. I have samba 
installed and the pc's can see each other on the LAN. Does this mean that 
some proggie would be able to monitor the internet usage for both machines?

I would like to be able to pull stats up by the day/week/month etc and keep 
permanent records "just in case". Basically, I want to ensure that I am a 
good netizen and dont hog up optus' network - N E info that can be provide 
is greatly appreciated. 

TIA and Cheers
Anthony
