linux

I bought two books on learning C++ for linux.

the books are not tied to any development enviornment just g++ for the compiler.

Is there an IDE for C++ development in linux. I am new and any help or hint type things help me. I am sure the really experienced users may find things that help me to be a pain.
I appreciate the coloring of the key words and the class browser in VC++ 6

thank you for your time and have a good day

You can try Eclipse. I think you need GNOME 2 for that though. Otherwise, there's KDevelop, and a number of other things.

Note, most Unix developers tend to use a syntax-coloured editor and Makefiles to build things (much more portable onto other systems).

thank you
