One of the better books for this, is "Learning C++ in 21 days". It should be out there on the net somewhere, in electronic formats. In any case, learning C by use of a compiler manual, is probably not a good, or productive, way to go.

Granted, trying to learn linux and C++ at the same time might be biting off a little too much too soon, but this is basically a hobby, so I can take my time with it. > > > > Yesterday, I was just going through the "hello world" basics and found that I was unable to compile it at all.
