Hi everyone!
Im new to Linux, currently running Mandrake 10, and im interested in learning C++ programming but I dont know where to download a free compiler, or if Linux comes with one. Thanks for the info guys.

To elaborate on this a bit, most Linux distros come with the GNU C++ compiler, G++. You can use this to compile your C++ code with this command:

Code:

g++ filename.cpp -o exe_file

If you type g++ and get no response, you need to install your distro's development packages.
