    Try VNStat. It's really easy to install/configure and get going :)

    I am using Munin. You can graph your bandwidth usage with a lot of other things related to your server (like cpu & memory usage, webserver and ftp access etc.).

    It is pretty popular, so there should be an pre compiled/configured package in your distros repository.
