Well, since we're setting up a debian system, we may as well review how to compile and run hello world. We'll just think of this blog as a reference to look back at latter.

The C++ compiler is already installed on debian. It would be stupid for linux to not have one installed already.
It's called g++, and you run it like this:

Code:

g++ hellosource.c
