A nice graphing utility is MRTG.  It caters mostly for SNMP but you
can monitor and graph pretty much anything.  It's not quite the
easiest to get to use but MRTG 3 should impruve it dramatically once
it gets out the door.

(there is a debian package for MRTG, of course, as well as a helpfull
mailing list)
