Personally, if you want an actual swf file to represent the graph, and the SVG's aren't extremely complicated, I would be pretty comfortable letting swfmill do the work. Otherwise, I would probably use the Flex 2 SDK (runs as a command line compiler on linux) to build a swf file that can take a custom format of xml from your server, and draw the graphs using actionscript 3. The flex sdk can be downloaded from Adobe, and the language and api docs are there as well. This is a reasonable tutorial to get you started using the sdk compiler to draw to the stage: http://www.senocular.com/flash/tutorials/as3withmxmlc/ . The only difference would be the command line differences from windows to linux. If you need more user interface than just the graphs, thats where mxml, and the other features of Flex 2 will help out quite a bit for productivity (Button controls, layout containers, etc).
