Debian?

Sure there is.

apt-cache search network|grep -i monitor

What sort of thing are you looking for?

For instance you have numerious network load indicators for gnome and kde desktops. You can use Ethereal to do packet sniffing and identify protocols and such.
 
Monitors how? Do you want an IDS? An IPS? Do you want bandwidth accounting? Cumulative sent/received amounts? speed?
 
Well then tcpdump. 😛

Check out freshmeat. They have lists and lists of applications. Most of the usefull/mature versions should be aviable on Debian by defaut.
 
It'd be nice if there was a linux application like Netlimiter for Windows. So you could limit bandwidth on certain applications or ports. Is this possible with linux?

Ya.

Linux is probably the most capable operating system aviable when it comes to networking. It can do anything and everything. Everything from a little NAT router or wifi bridge for a AP for home to a enterprise Cisco-replacement. It has support for (with Zebra) RIP (v1 and v2), BGP, OSPF, IGMP, and a whole host of other networking protocols.. as well as transport and physical stuff like ethernet, token ring, FDDI, ATM, etc etc. It can do load balancing of network interfaces, failover. All sorts of crazy stuff.
It's one of the main reasons I started using it way back during some networking classes.

See this page for some interesting stuff.

I don't know of any simple GUI interface for this stuff though. I am sure that it exists though.

different products offer different sort of interfaces.

For instance I just installed IPcop on a old Dell my workplace was getting rid of. Four 3com 100mbit nics on a 300mhz P-II and 128 megs of SDRAM. Totally kicks the crap out of my linksys router. No more DoS-ing my own network anymore when I trie to update my XQF search for online gaming servers! Realy easy to setup also. It has a nice web-based interface and looks like has some traffic shaping capabilities.
