Hi Jacob, I have not tried coding in c++ under linux, but have done c programing. I think c++ must b similar. First open a text editor like vim, gedit, emacs,etc. Do not use open office for this. If u r from windozs world then gedit is similar to notepad, so u should b comfortable with that. Type in your c++ code in that & save that file. Open up a terminal(console). Type in gcc <prg. name> .If it were a C program then i would type "gcc hello.c" . If the program compiles without any error(that is u get to see $ prompt again after gcc). Then type ./a.out to see the output. Check out the info pages of gcc. vim & emacs r great editor with lots of functionalities. For learning vim try "vimtutor" at terminal. HTH ashwin
