I am in desperate need of one of these. I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I need something like NetWorx on Windows, where I can make quotas, see usage, and so on.

I have used Vnstat for years. It works really well. Ive put some of the output modes below. It is just from the server I use for my website. It has many graphical frontends, but I just use the terminal output as I dont have a GUI installed on my server.

This is the typical output, but it can do daily, monthly, hourly as well.

What is the point in using Linux if youre just going to use programs that have a GUI? Why not use OSX or Windows?

 

A GUI to just display text is pretty silly.

A. Hackintosh sucks.

 

B. Windows 7/8 on a netbook is stupid.

 

Have you ever considered personal preference? Just becuase I use Linux doesn't mean I have to use a terminal or something like that for every little thing I do.
